Who is a proper claimant and when can they claim monies due to the deceased member/nominee's estate?
A proper claimant is a beneficiary, usually a family member, of the deceased member/nominee. The proper claimant can claim monies due to the deceased member/nominee's estate via an application process. This applies when no executor or administrator has been appointed for the deceased member/nominee’s estate and the estate does not exceed $50,000, covering two scenarios:
 
  1. Dividends, sale proceeds and other monies in respect of discounted Singtel shares belonging to a deceased member who passed away without a nomination; or
  2. Nominated CPF savings that would have been paid to the deceased nominee who had passed away before he could receive it.
