CPFIS - What happens to the investments if a member passes away? |
|
|
|
|
When members die (irrespective of whether they were undischarged bankrupts or
not), all CPFIS investments* and any cash held in their CPF investment account
under the CPFIS-OA form part of the deceased members' estate and will be
distributed according to applicable laws. These investments cease to be
protected from deceased members' creditors under the CPF laws and may be used to
satisfy creditors' claim in accordance with the Probate and Administration Act.
This applies whether the deceased member is an undischarged bankrupt or
not.
* In the case of NTUC Income insurance
policies, policyholders may have the choice to nominate their beneficiaries to
receive the insurance money.
