How does the property gets transferred upon the death of the owner?

Specifically, for HDB, please visit HDB's website for detailed information on how to apply for a change in flat ownership (not through a sale), where there is no monetary consideration.

Do note that as a change in flat ownership involves legal processes, it takes about 4 months* to complete after HDB has received the complete set of application.

For private properties, this needs to be done through a conveyancing lawyer. If you require a conveyancing lawyer, you can request one through our Consult Lawyer function.
