Document background
The Affidavit of Entitlement is a crucial document in Singapore's legal framework for managing deceased estates and distributing assets. It is typically required when claiming CPF monies, insurance proceeds, bank accounts, or other assets of a deceased person. The document must detail the deponent's relationship to the deceased, the basis of their claim, and include supporting documentation. This affidavit is particularly important in cases where formal probate or letters of administration are not required, providing a more streamlined process for smaller estates or specific types of assets.
