What if I'm unsure what category of assets it falls under? What happens if I key wrongly?

The categories listed in the platform are meant for the testator to go through and think so systematically so he/she can list down all the assets. If for one reason or another the testator is unable to decide between one or another, you can pick the best choice or simply leave it under Other Assets.

Generally, this should not affect process of applying for the Grant of Probate, though if say you put say you put your HDB Flat as a insurance policy your executor probably will scratch his head a bit. Filing for a Grant of Probate requires the executor to submit the Schedule of Assets, and within the form there's no specific categorization of type of assets, though they will still require the identifying details and the market value.
