The CPF Nomination Scheme is like a will by CPF. Money in your CPF are not covered by your will, meaning if you have made a will and included how your CPF money will be distributed, it is not legally enforceable by the Singapore\u2019s law. You can change your Nomination whenever you like to, even after you have already made one. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like how a normal person should have their will made if they have any assets they wish to leave behind for their family members, your CPF money<\/a> should also have instructions on how it should be distributed upon your death. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Items covered by the CPF Nomination:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Items not covered by the CPF Nomination and can be listed in a will:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some of our top picks on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your CPF savings will be distributed to your beneficiaries via a public trustee. While the money will be distributed to your beneficiaries, it might not be in the proportion that you want it to be, and it might be a lengthy process for the money to be distributed out.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Public Trustee also levies a fee for their service which can be quite expensive. From a minimum of $15 to possibly a few thousand dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n You should always change your nomination after major events. A newborn, marriage, divorce, passing away of parents, spouse, or child. The Nomination should always be made up to date to ensure that your CPF savings are distributed based on your desire. A Nomination that is not updated after a major event (such as divorce) is still recognised and will be enforced.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can make your CPF Nomination at any CPF Service Centres, however, you must book an appointment with CPF first. You will fill up the CPF Nomination form in the presence of the CPF\u2019s Customer Service Executives.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Secondly, you can complete the CPF Nomination form by yourself and mail it to CPF Board. The Nomination form must be filled in by you under the presence of 2 witnesses, both above age 21.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Forms Available HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
