For such cases, it will be based on the intestate succession act. You may read more here https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/ISA1967

Hope it helps. In the event that the beneficiary has an existing HDB which has yet to MOP, it is likely that the inherited flat needs to be disposed. You may check with HDB for final details too.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

Hi,

1) Under the current Intestate Succession Act, the only child will inherit 100% of the HDB flat.
2) Since this is an Intestate succession means there is no will.
3) The Court will issue Letters of Administration and appoint an Administrator to distribute the property to his successors according to the Intestate Succession Act.
4) The duties of the Administrator are in Probate and Adminstration Act.
5) You may read more on the Probate and Administration Act here: https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/PAA1934.
6) I will strongly advise you to approach a lawyer to understand what you should do.
7) Under the current HDB policy, an entity can only own one HDB flat be it meets the MOP or not.
8) So under your situation, once you inherit the HDB flat legally. You will have to dispose of it within 6 months of possession.

Hi,

I would be most glad to assist you further and please feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, yes you are right in a way but do check with the law firm who is handling this case for further advice. Also, HDB would likely ask the inheritor to sell away his parents flat simply because he has not hit the MOP of his own flat.
