You will need to submit an online application via https://go.gov.sg/pto under “Deceased’s estate other than un-nominated CPF moneys / Baby Bonus / Edusave / PSEA”.

If the value of the shareholding is $5,000 or below, you can approach CDP directly to claim the Deceased’s shareholding.

Please take note that the Public Trustee can only assist in the transfer of the Deceased’s CDP shares, if the total value of the estate is $50,000 or less, to the intended transferee.

Common types of documents required are:

• Death Certificate of Deceased

• Birth Certificate of Deceased

• Marriage Certificate of Deceased

• Decree Nisi Absolute (if the Deceased was divorced)

• Birth Certificate of Beneficiary

• Identity Card of Beneficiary

• Death Certificate of Beneficiary (if Deceased)

• Marriage Certificate of Deceased’s Parents

• Death Certificate of Parent (if Deceased)

• Certificate of Inheritance (For Muslims only)

If there are multiple beneficiaries, (e.g., Deceased left behind a spouse and children) the other family members may choose to give up his / her share so claimant can claim the shares. Alternatively, the claimant may buy over the other beneficiary’ shares.

Important: Only beneficiary who is 21 years old and above can give up his / her share.
