1. 為何遺囑在新加坡重要

若沒有有效遺囑,你的遺產會按 《無遺囑繼承法》(第 146 章)分配,
而且必須跟從嚴格的法定公式。這公式不會顧及你的個人意願、
受養人的特殊需要,或家人的獨特財務狀況。
例如,按該法例,若你已婚兼有子女,配偶只得一半遺產 — 另一半由子女平均分配。
若其中一名子女未成年,其份額會由公署託管人保管至 21 歲,並須繳行政費用。

更重要的是,未婚伴侶 — 不論關係維持多久 — 在無遺囑規則下完全得不到任何分配。
在像新加坡這樣多元文化、法律制度多樣的城市,
不少情侶同居但未結婚,這是一個遺囑可以補上的重大缺口。

2. 法律框架 — 《遺囑法》(第 352 章)

《遺囑法》(第 352 章)適用於所有非穆斯林新加坡人。
穆斯林新加坡人的遺產受伊斯蘭繼承法(faraid)規管,並由 Syariah Court 管理,規則差異很大。
按《遺囑法》訂立遺囑時,形式要求十分嚴格:

  • 年齡:你必須年滿 21 歲才可立遺囑(英格蘭最低為 18 歲)。
    例外:現役軍人可在較年輕時訂立特權遺囑。

  • 書面形式:遺囑必須以書面作成。打字遺囑完全有效。

  • 立遺囑人簽署:你必須在遺囑末端簽署。
    如身體上無法簽署,可由他人在你面前、按你指示代簽。

  • 兩名見證人,同時在場:兩名見證人必須同時在場,並看見你簽署(或承認你先前的簽署)。
    其後,他們都要在你面前簽署。

  • 見證人不得是受益人:若見證人(或其配偶)同時也是受益人,
    其在遺囑下的贈與會失效,但遺囑本身仍然有效。

⚠️ 結婚會自動撤銷你的遺囑:
按《遺囑法》第 13 條,婚姻會自動撤銷任何先前所立遺囑,
除非該遺囑是明示預想該婚姻而立。
如你最近已結婚,或計劃結婚,儀式後必須重新立遺囑。
離婚不會撤銷遺囑,但會撤銷其中給前配偶的任何贈與或執行人委任。

3. CPF — 新加坡遺產規劃中最易誤解的資產

對新加坡居民來說,最重要的一點是:你的 CPF 儲蓄不受遺囑約束。
CPF 款項(普通、特別、MediSave 及退休帳戶結餘)不屬於遺產,
不能由遺囑指定去向。它們會按你直接向 CPF Board 作出的 CPF 指定另行分配。

若你去世時未作 CPF 指定,你的 CPF 儲蓄會轉交公署託管人辦事處,
再按無遺囑規則分配 — 不論你的遺囑怎樣寫。
整個程序需時甚長,並會從 CPF 餘額扣除行政費。

要建立或更新 CPF 指定,請經 cpf.gov.sg 登入你的 CPF 帳戶 —
全程少於 15 分鐘,而且你需要兩名不是你指定受益人的見證人。

4. 遺囑應包含的內容

項目

應包含內容

撤銷條款

明確撤銷所有先前遺囑及附錄

執行人

指定主執行人及至少一名替代人;複雜遺產可考慮指定專業執行人

特定遺贈

列明受贈人及具體資產(物業、首飾、車輛、現金金額)

剩餘遺產

處理其餘一切未另行處理的資產;如主受益人先你去世,須指定替代人

未成年信託

若受益人未滿 21 歲,須委任受託人,並註明資產轉移年齡

監護人條款

為任何未成年子女指定監護人 — 家事法庭會高度重視你的意願

意願信(不具約束力)

另附文件,說明喪禮安排、個人物品,以及你希望遺產如何管理


案例研究:Priya Nair 在新加坡的遺產規劃

背景:Priya(44 歲)與 Rahul 結婚,Rahul 是新加坡永久居民。
他們有兩名子女,分別 8 歲及 14 歲。Priya 擁有一個 HDB 單位(與 Rahul 共同持有),
另有一個私人銀行戶口,存款 380,000 新元,
以及各帳戶合共約 210,000 新元的 CPF 結餘。

若沒有規劃,會有甚麼問題:

  • 以聯名持有的 HDB 單位,會在 Priya 去世時按存活權自動轉給 Rahul — 這部分無需處理,
    但 Priya 應知道這不受其遺囑控制。

  • 若沒有遺囑,銀行戶口會按《無遺囑繼承法》分配:
    Rahul 得 190,000 新元,兩名子女各得 95,000 新元。

  • 8 歲孩子的 95,000 新元份額會由公署託管人保管至 21 歲 —
    並須繳行政費,且沒有彈性。

Priya 的遺囑(經 Caira 檢視):

  • 執行人:Rahul 任主執行人,妹妹 Ananya 任替代人。

  • 銀行戶口:200,000 新元直接給 Rahul;餘額由 Ananya 作受託人,
    為兩名子女平均保管至 21 歲。

  • 監護人:若 Rahul 亦先於 Priya 去世,委任 Ananya 為子女監護人。

  • CPF:另行透過 CPF 網站將 100% 指定給 Rahul — 不寫入遺囑。

  • Caira 的角色:Caira 指出,遺囑的剩餘遺產條款未明確處理若 Rahul 與
    其中一名子女都先於 Priya 去世時會如何分配 — 這缺口可能令部分遺產落入無遺囑繼承。
    Priya 已更新為加入「按支系分配」條款。

6. 常見問題

Q:我在新加坡需要註冊遺囑嗎?
A: 新加坡沒有強制註冊。
不過,你可自願把遺囑存放於 新加坡法律學會遺囑登記處(wills-registry.sal.sg),費用約 50–70 新元。
這可讓執行人較易在你去世後找到遺囑。
最重要是告知執行人正本存放處 — 找不到的遺囑,視同不存在。

Q:新加坡的手寫(全筆跡)遺囑有效嗎?
A: 可以有效 — 但仍須兩名獨立見證人於你在場時簽署。
新加坡沒有例外,可讓完全手寫遺囑在沒有見證人的情況下有效(不同於某些地區)。
兩名見證人必須在你面前,同時簽署。

Q:在新加坡,哪些資產不受我的遺囑控制?
A: CPF 儲蓄(須用 CPF 指定)、已有指定受益人的保險(《物業轉易及財產法》第 73 條)、
聯名持有的資產(按存活權轉移),以及信託資產。
請逐項檢視,確保整體遺產規劃一致。

Q:我的 HDB 單位是聯名持有 — 會怎樣處理?
A: 若你的 HDB 單位以 聯名持有(最常見安排)形式持有,
你去世後會自動轉給尚存共同擁有人 — 不屬遺產,也不能由遺囑指定。
若以 分權共有 形式持有,你的份額會屬於遺產,
並可由遺囑處理。
