How would my child's CPF savings be distributed if he were to pass away?
The minimum age to make a CPF nomination is 16 years old.
If a member passes away before attaining 16 years of age, he would not have a valid CPF nomination, and his CPF savings would be transferred to the Public Trustee's Office for distribution in accordance with the Intestate Succession Act or the Administration of Muslim Law (for Muslims). If a member passes away at 16 years of age or above and has made a valid CPF nomination, his CPF savings will be distributed according to his wishes, otherwise his CPF savings would be transferred to the Public Trustee's Office for distribution in accordance with the Intestate Succession Act or the Administration of Muslim Law (for Muslims).
