Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer to buy or sell residential property in Singapore?
Yes. Conveyancing is legally required for HDB and private property transactions.
How much are legal fees for buying a home?
Fees vary based on property type, but most range from $1,800 to $2,500 for standard purchases.
Can I use CPF to pay for legal fees or stamp duty?
Yes, CPF can be used subject to approval and limits. Your lawyer will guide you through the process.
What is the Option to Purchase (OTP)?
The OTP is a legal agreement that reserves the right to purchase a property, typically with a non-refundable deposit.
Is it necessary to hire a lawyer to write a will in Singapore?
No, but legal drafting ensures your will is valid and reduces the risk of disputes or rejection by the court.
What if I have children under 21?
You should appoint a guardian in your will to care for them in case both parents pass away.
Can I change my will later?
Yes. You can revise your will at any time while you have mental capacity.
What happens if I die without a will?
Your estate will be distributed according to Singapore’s intestacy laws, which may not reflect your preferences.
Why do I need a will if I don’t have many assets?
A will provides clarity and control over your affairs, reduces conflict, and protects your loved ones—regardless of estate size.
Can I create both a will and a trust?
Yes. Trusts complement wills by offering control over how and when assets are distributed.
