KiasuParents - Parenting in Singapore

Do make sure your old parents' CPF nomination form has been filed properly.

If in doubt, file a new nomination form just to make sure the details of the beneficiaries are correct and up to date.

CPF money are not distributed under the will, must have nomination done at CPF.

Nomination form can be downloaded. The two witnesses can be CPF staff.

My parents did their many years ago.

For newly married couples, the nomination made before marriage becomes invalid and MUST make a new one.

I think for divorced, the nomination may still be valid !?!

Ours were done after marriage ROM.

I intend to change the nomination to include the children.

No doubt the CPF fund will be distributed according to the intestacy laws if no nomination was done, having the nomination done will definitely speed up the distribution process.

Also takes away any unforeseen complications.
