HDB Inheritance

Leaving a Roof, Not Uncertainty: Planning for Your Family Home

Inheriting an HDB flat isn’t as straightforward as many think.

This session explains the legal and policy complexities involved—from ownership types to eligibility rules and the impact of the Intestate Succession Act. It highlights why tailored estate planning is essential to avoid unexpected costs, disputes, or delays in HDB succession.

  1. HDB Inheritance Comes with Rules
    Age, citizenship, and family nucleus requirements can restrict who can inherit and retain a flat—even if they’re named in a will.

  2. One Property Rule Can Trigger ABSD
    Passing down multiple properties (e.g., HDB + private condo) to multiple children can lead to additional stamp duties or ownership complications.

  3. See an Estate Practitioner for Complex Cases
    Scenarios involving foreign spouses, special needs family members, or tenants-in-common require careful planning to avoid disputes or financial losses.
