Good morning,

Did the grandfather prepared a WILL?
HDB unit can be willed to anyone but it would depends on whether the person who inherit the property are eligible to keep the unit.
Based on your case, the son is more likely to inherit the property.

Hi,

The main issue is about who can keep the flat rather than inheriting the flat. If the son is above 35 but he already has an existing HDB flat, he can still inherit the house but he cannot keep it. So he will have to sell off the HDB flat.

If both also cannot take over the flat, then the administrator for the estate will have to facilitate to sell off the flat. But from the surface of your question, it does seems like the dad is more eligible to take over the flat.

What I would suggest is for you to give me a call and I can get to know more details so that I can advise you further. With the limited information, it's really quite tough to give you very concrete answers. No worries as there are no obligations at all.

Cheers!

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients (2016/2017)
“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”

Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations.
We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”
Susana (Buyer)

“Nick is very pro-active in helping us to resolve whatever questions and problems that we encountered. All the issues are settled even before us having to request or ask for a second time. He was very frank and transparent with all the details, limitations and advantages that we wouldn’t have known. I think this is the most important virtue to be successful in this line. I will surely recommend him to anyone who needs his service because I trust that they will be equally satisfied!!”
