When will a person reach adulthood? The age of majority is actually quite confusing because in reality, there is no standardized age as it depends on the subject matter. I decided to compile a list as follows:
A person upon attaining age 18 can enter into contracts but with some exceptions. Civil Law Act Section 35.
When a beneficiary inherits CPF monies through nomination, the Public Trustee will hold the money in trust until the nominee turns 18.
When a beneficiary inherits CPF monies due to intestacy law, the Public Trustee will hold the money in trust until the beneficiary turns 21.
A person need to be at least 21 years old to make a Lasting Power of Attorney.
Parents of children with intellectual disability may apply to the Court to be appointed deputies if the children are likely to be still lacking in capacity after 21 years of age.
