Hi,

If you and your parents are concerned, and it is in their intention to pass the property to you when they move on, and you intend to keep the property, it is better to set up a will so that the property will be will-ed to your name. This will also make transition plans easier and prevent any potential disputes. You can keep the property as you are eligible under one of the HDB schemes. Thanks and hope to assist with your housing plans further.

Warm Regards,
Ivan Ng

Evening,

If your parents are willing to WILL the unit to you upon their demise, things would be much easier. If not, you will be required to go to court to obtain the Grant of Probate. This will allow you the administrator the sell the unit. However, do note that if contest takes place among siblings, the court will have to go into hearing.
