You are still legally married while undergoing divorce proceedings. This means that, by default, if you pass away without a Will, the Intestate Succession Act will apply. Under this Act, with the exception of a decree of Judicial Separation (which must be filed in court), your spouse will inherit half of your estate if not all of it (if you have no issues nor parent).

To safeguard your assets and ensure they are distributed according to your wishes, it is advisable to update or draft a Will as soon as possible. Additionally, you should also update your CPF nomination and insurance nominations.

We understand that going through a divorce can be one of the most challenging periods in your life. However, it is more important now than ever to ensure you ha

In a court case, someone tried to rely on a Will without updating their nomination, and the payout went to the original nominee instead.

Summary A Will cannot override a trust nomination but it may override a revocable nomination provided the Will is made at a later date and in a very specific ma

You can't simply "Will away" your frozen eggs, sperms or embryos like other assets. The use and handling of these reproductive materials are regulated. In fact, before storing them, your fertility clinic must get your instructions on whether to dispose or donate them upon your passing. Your Will typically can't override those instructions.

You can't just "Will away" your reproductive cells and embryos as if they were your traditional assets. Even if you express your wishes in your will, they may n

Many are proactively making their CPF nomination -- it's free and makes it convenient for your nominees to receive the money. Not nominating your CPF means incurring an unnecessary administration fee charged by the Public Trustees Office (PTO).
