What happens to the CPF savings if the nominee passed away before he could receive the CPF savings of the deceased member?
The CPF savings would form part of the deceased nominee's estate and would be paid to the Executor/Administrator appointed under the Grant of Probate (GP)/Letters of Administration (LA). For more information on how to apply for a GP or LA, visit Singapore Courts' website.
 
If there is no Executor/Administrator appointed, the CPF savings may be paid to a proper claimant if the estate does not exceed $50,000. Write to us for more details about the application via the proper claimant route.
