For purchase of HDB between people who are not spouses, the type of co-ownership becomes even more important. This is because if the co-owners are spouses, the rules on intestacy protect the surviving spouse’s ownership of the HDB flat.

For Joint Tenancy, co-owners are both entitled to the whole property, as if they were a single owner.
