Donating to a charity or association in your will is a way to support a cause you care about.

The different forms of donation

There are different forms of donations that can be made by will:

  • special legacy,
  • residual legacy,
  • universal legacy,
  • life insurance,
  • etc.

Regardless of its form, a donation will allow you to support the actions of a charity.

Who will give the donation (legacy) to the charity?

The legacy will be delivered by the liquidator of the estate, on behalf of the estate.
