How to claim the Deceased's motor vehicle?


Updated by MLAW

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 Deceased left behind a car or motorcycle, you could request for a transfer to the beneficiary if the total value the Deceased’s estate is less than $50,000.

 

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)

  • PARF/COE Rebate certificate for the vehicle obtainable from https://onemotoring.lta.gov.sg

 

If there are multiple beneficiaries, (e.g., Deceased left behind a spouse and children) they may choose to give up their share so that claimant can claim the motor vehicle. Alternatively, the claimant may buy over the other beneficiary’s shares.

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

What happens next

·       You will get an email confirming your application was received

·       A case officer will review your application

·       If more documents are needed, you will be notified

·       You will be asked to make payment of the administration fee for transfer of shares / vehicle
