You can lodge a Notice of Death on your own with the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) or engage a private lawyer to lodge the Notice of Death on your behalf. For an HDB flat, you can visit the HDB branch managing the deceased's flat and engage HDB's legal services to help you lodge a Notice of Death on your behalf upon the demise of the sole owner.
Under the Housing and Development Act, the executor(s) or administrator(s) is required to dispose of the deceased's flat (if there is no one eligible to take over the flat) within 12 months from the completion date of transmission.
Under the Housing and Development Act, the deceased's HDB flat may vest in the HDB if:
(a) Letters of Administration or Grant of Probate is not taken out within 12 months from the death of the sole lessee or tenant-in-common.
(b) The personal representatives do not apply for a transmission or transfer of the flat within 6 months from the date of representation.
(c) The executor(s) or administrator(s) do not apply for transfer of the flat to the eligible beneficiaries or disposal of the flat (if there is no one eligible to take over the flat) within 12 months from the completion date of transmission.
