In this situation, the standard loan termination process will take place. Below are the options available to the next-of-kin.
Settle the outstanding Skim Saraan Bercagar Loan
The outstanding amount will depend on the loan tenure. After settling the outstanding amount, the property will be passed back to the next-of-kin.
Not settle the Skim Saraan Bercagar Loan
If the next-of-kin chooses to not settle the loan, Cagamas will proceed to dispose the property and settle the outstanding loan. Any balance in the sale proceeds of the property, after subtracting the loan amount, will be passed on to the borrower’s estate.
Borrower may surrender or terminate the agreement by settling or paying off the outstanding loan amount accumulated until that point of time.

The full monthly payout will still continue to be paid to the surviving joint-borrower until death.
Yes, the partner will need to be joint owner of the property to be eligible.
Current owner would need to register the new owner with the Land Office to add the additional owner of the property. It will usually take about 1-2 months, subject to Land Office’s approval.
