Co-beneficiary is deceased
Missing Beneficiary | Widowed | Legal proof exists
Case scenario: Information gathered from the HSS and during the occupancy survey confirms that the occupant is a beneficiary but also that there was a co-beneficiary. Data from the occupancy survey and from Home Affairs shows that the co-beneficiary is no longer alive (e.g. a spouse has died). In these cases, the property is transferred to the surviving beneficiary / spouse.

ID of the deceased
Marriage certificate
Death certificate
Will (if available)
Where the co-beneficiary was not a spouse, the surviving beneficiary needs to provide the following documents:
