The Beneficiary Letter of Instruction is a crucial document in Singapore's financial and estate planning landscape. It provides clear, legally binding instructions to financial institutions regarding the distribution of assets to specified beneficiaries. This document is particularly important when account holders want to ensure smooth transfer of assets without going tHRough probate. The document must adhere to Singapore's legal requirements, including proper execution, witnessing, and clear identification of all parties. It typically includes detailed beneficiary information, specific distribution instructions, and any conditions that must be met before distribution can occur.
