FamilyHub SG / My Legacy changes

My Legacy will delete your stored data on 4 January 2027. Here’s what to save and where to keep it.

From 4 January 2027, MyLegacy@LifeSG permanently deletes the personal information, funeral plans and will records that users entered themselves. Your Advance Care Plan, CPF nomination and Lasting Power of Attorney are not affected. If you want to keep anything you typed in, download it before then. Anyone you shared it with as a Trusted Person loses access on the same day.

Last reviewed 25 October 2026 against the official LifeSG notice, its help answers and the SAL Wills Registry page. This page is general information, not legal or financial advice.

Deadline: 4 January 2027 After this date the records are permanently deleted, with no access for you or your Trusted Persons, according to the official notice.

What is deleted, and what stays

My Legacy is not shutting down. It is stopping storage of the information you type in yourself, and keeping the records it pulls from government sources.

Deleted on 4 January 2027

Personal information: important documents, financial accounts, bills and payments, properties, vehicles and digital accounts
Funeral plans
Will records. You can no longer store or update will details in My Legacy during the transition
Your Trusted Persons lose access to all of the above

Not affected

Advance Care Plan
CPF nomination
Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)
These keep syncing to your account from government records, and Trusted Persons you shared them with keep access

LifeSG’s stated reason is that information people maintain themselves drifts out of date, and My Legacy became one more place to keep updated. That problem does not go away when you move your information somewhere else. Whatever you choose, set a yearly reminder to check it.

What to do before 4 January 2027

Download your summaries

Log in to MyLegacy@LifeSG with Singpass and open each section you used: personal information, will and funeral plan. LifeSG makes one summary document for each section. Download each one.

You can no longer edit before you download, so fix anything in the file afterwards. Open each file to check it works. If something goes wrong, use “Contact us” on the LifeSG help site.
Decide where each type of information will live

Use the worksheet below. One place per type of information is easier to keep current than five.
Tell the people who need to know

If you named Trusted Persons, tell them the old access ends on 4 January 2027 and show them where things are now. If someone named you, ask them to do the same for you.

Worksheet: what My Legacy held and what to capture

Work through each row. Print it if you prefer paper. Ticks are not saved if you leave this page.

Categories listed in the official LifeSG notice
What My Legacy held	What to write down or save	Where I will keep it
Important documents	The name of each document, where the original is kept (drawer, safe, lawyer, bank), and a scan or photo
Financial accounts	Bank or institution, account type, whose name it is in, whether it is joint, and who to contact. The last 4 digits at most
Bills and payments	What is billed, how often, which account or card pays it, and the due dates. Include insurance premiums
Properties	Address, who owns it, the mortgage lender if any, and where the purchase and title documents are
Vehicles	Plate number, insurer, renewal dates, and where the documents are
Digital accounts	Which accounts exist (email, cloud storage, subscriptions, social media) and how your family would get access. Keep passwords in a password manager, not in a document
Funeral plan	Your wishes, any pre-arranged plan, who to contact, and where the paperwork is
Will record	See the next section. Note who drew up your will, its date, and where the original is held

Keep it findable, not exposed. Record where accounts are held and the last 4 digits at most. Do not type full account numbers or passwords into a spreadsheet, a note or any app, including ours.

Your will record

My Legacy is moving away from holding will details itself. During the transition you cannot store or update will details there, and existing will records are deleted on 4 January 2027. The official notice suggests you may consider depositing a record with the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) Wills Registry. LifeSG says it is working towards retrieving will-storage information from that registry through My Legacy.

It is optional. The registry is non-mandatory and confidential.
It does not store your will. SAL says it does not keep the will or a copy. It records your details as the person making the will, the date of the will, who drew it up, and where it is held.
Fees: SAL’s site lists $50 per will deposit submission and $10 per search.
Your will is valid either way. LifeSG says its validity does not depend on depositing a record, and that the registry keeps the information for 120 years from the testator’s date of birth.

The original will still needs a safe, known place, and your executor should know where it is. For questions about your own will, speak to a lawyer. This page cannot advise on that.

If you are someone’s Trusted Person

After 4 January 2027 you will no longer have access to the affected information. The official advice is to speak to the person who shared it with you about how they want to keep you informed.

Ask them for a copy of what matters to you, or a short list of where things are.
Check that you can open whatever they give you.
Their Advance Care Plan, CPF nomination and LPA are not affected, and your access to those stays.

Where to keep it instead

Keep one list that says where each thing is, and give each type of information one home. Our guide to organising important family documents shows how. Do not put passwords or full account numbers on the list.

Using FamilyHub SG for this

FamilyHub SG is a household records app for Singapore families, built and run by the founder with one IT developer. It is in a free beta and is not affiliated with LifeSG, My Legacy or any government agency.

What it does

Keeps records for properties, loans, insurance, investments, savings, CPF or SRS accounts, credit cards, other assets and a home inventory, each tagged to a family member.
Lets you attach PDFs or photos (up to 10 MB each; free households share 10 MB in total) or save a link to where a document lives.
Has an Estate Planning checklist for your Will, LPA, CPF nomination, Advance Medical Directive and Advance Care Plan.
Lets you invite family as a Member or a Viewer, and export everything to Excel, a backup .zip or a Word summary.

What it does not do

It does not import from My Legacy. You enter your information yourself.
It does not connect to Singpass, your bank or any government system.
It has no section for digital accounts or funeral plans. Use the Notes on a record.
There is no “release only after I pass away” setting. People you invite can see what their role allows straight away.
It is not a will and not legal advice. It is new, so keep your own copy of anything important.

How your data is handled. Connections use HTTPS, and stored data is encrypted and hosted in Singapore servers. In order to provide you with a backup so that accidentally deleted data is not permanently lost, the founder and an IT developer can technically access stored data to run the service. The privacy policy has the details.

To move across: add the records from your worksheet, attach scans or save links, then download a full backup from Settings → Data and keep a copy somewhere else.

Try it with a few records first

FamilyHub SG is free during the beta. Start with one property or one policy and see whether it suits how your household works. Use made-up numbers if you prefer.

Questions and answers

Is My Legacy shutting down?

No. It stops storing what users entered themselves, but the dashboard keeps showing government-sourced records such as your Advance Care Plan, CPF nomination and LPA.

Will my CPF nomination, LPA or Advance Care Plan be deleted?

No. LifeSG says they are not affected, and Trusted Persons you shared them with keep access.

What happens if I do nothing before 4 January 2027?

Your stored personal information, will records and funeral plans are permanently deleted, and neither you nor your Trusted Persons can access them.

Is it safe to put my financial details in an app like FamilyHub SG?

That depends on what you enter. Record where things are held and the last 4 digits at most, never passwords, and keep your own backup. FamilyHub SG is in beta, so read the privacy policy first.
