Withdrawing on reduced life expectancy

If you have been appointed as a donee through a Lasting Power of Attorney to take care of a member’s CPF and other financial matters, you can apply to withdraw the savings on the member’s behalf.

If you have been appointed as a deputy via a court order under the Mental Capacity Act, you can apply to withdraw the savings on the member’s behalf.

If a donee or deputy has not been appointed and you are the member’s next-of-kin, you may apply to the court to be appointed as a deputy under the Mental Capacity Act. The court order should include these suggested clauses if you wish to be empowered to manage all of the member’s CPF matters.

If you are applying for a Mental Capacity Act Order that is generally restricted to the use of monies of $60,000 and below, you can use the simplified application process provided by the Family Justice Court to be appointed as deputy.

Submit this form with a copy of your NRIC attached and provide the following original documents to us:

1. Medical report from an accredited doctor stating that the member lacks mental capacity permanently;
   
2. Lasting Power of Attorney or Court Order; and
3. Trust bank account statement or passbook.

You can make an appointment to visit any of our CPF Service Centres to submit the above original documents or mail the original documents to us at:
