What happens to my CPF savings if my nominee is below 18 years old?
If your nominee is below the age of 18 at the time of claim, his share will be transferred to the Public Trustee's Office and held-in-trust until he reaches 18 years of age.
Alternatively, you can nominate a trustee/trust company to receive your CPF savings on behalf of your beneficiary who is a minor.
You are advised to make arrangements with the trustee/trust company on how to channel your CPF savings to your intended beneficiaries. Please note that we are not in a position to enforce or ensure that the trustee/trust company will apply the CPF savings received for the benefit of your intended beneficiaries. This is strictly a private arrangement between you and the appointed trustee/trust company.
