If the property is under joint tenancy, the person's share in the flat will be transferred to the remaining owner(s) and the remaining owners should lodge a Notice of Death (NOD) with Singapore Land Authority (SLA).

For HDB, the owner(s) can retain the existing flat provided that they:

• are a Singapore Citizen (SC) or Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR)

• are at least 21 years old; and

• satisfy HDB's eligibility rules and conditions to own a flat.

You can refer to the following page on HDB under the title "Demise of joint owner" for more information.
