Can I inherit my mom's 3-room HDB flat if she passes away after a few years? She purchased it before the year 2000

If your mother purchased the 3-room HDB flat before 30th August 2010 (which is the case since she bought it before the year 2000), you can inherit the HDB flat even if you are currently staying in a private condo.

Here are the key points to consider:
- Since the HDB flat was purchased before 30th August 2010, you are allowed to keep both the private condo and the inherited HDB flat.
- However, if you are eligible to own an HDB flat, you and your family would need to move into the HDB flat.
- If you are ineligible to own an HDB flat, you have the option to sell the HDB flat in the open market if the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) has been met. If the MOP has not been met, you would need to approach HDB for assistance and appeal to sell the flat before its MOP.

In summary, you can inherit the HDB flat, but you need to comply with the specific conditions set by HDB depending on your eligibility to own an HDB flat.
