What happens if one, or all, of my CPF nominees pass away?
The deceased nominee's share will be given to the surviving nominees in the same proportion as you have specified. If you have no surviving nominees, then your CPF savings will be transferred to the Public Trustee's Office (PTO) for distribution to your family members under the Intestate Succession Act or the Inheritance Certificate (for Muslims). The PTO charges your beneficiaries an administration fee for the distribution of your CPF savings.
You can also make a new CPF nomination and specify new nominee(s) or reallocate your shares to your surviving nominee(s) in accordance with your preference at any time. You are encouraged to regularly review your CPF Nomination and update it so that it continues to fit your intentions.
