Tioh, dis part is standard practise lah. They need the death cert which has been verified by a doctor with the cause of death. However in Audrey's case if her nominee was not the murderer but say her own family member, will the board withhold the funds until investigations ended [which could take years] or would they still release the fund if no objection was raised? 

My point is unless objection was raised with the board,  CPF board would release the funds as per the deceased  directive.

In this case, CPF wil not release funds until a court judgement is final.
