Your Central Provident Fund (CPF) nomination allows you to specify who to receive your CPF savings, and how much each nominee should receive, when you are no longer around.
You do not need to make a CPF nomination if you wish to distribute your CPF savings under the intestacy laws. Distribution under the intestacy laws ensures that your family members will receive your CPF savings.
If your nominee is below the age of 18 years old at the time your CPF savings are paid out, his/her share will be forwarded to the Public Trustee for administration until he/she reaches 18 years of age.
