How would my child's CPF savings be distributed if he were to pass away?
The minimum age to make a CPF nomination is 16 years old.
If a member passes away before attaining 16 years of age, he/she would not have a valid CPF nomination, and as such his/her CPF savings would be transferred to the Public Trustee's Office for distribution in accordance with the Intestate Succession Act or the Administration of Muslim Law (for Muslims).
