Inheritances and legacies

As a private non-profit organisation, the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation does not receive any public funding for its services to people with spinal cord injuries. It is therefore dependent on private donations. You can basically bequeath your estate in two ways – by inheritances and by legacies.

When writing your will, you need to observe the statutory requirements. These define who is entitled to inherit and the minimum you need to bequeath to the community of heirs (statutory entitlements). You can bequeath the remaining free quota either as an inheritance or a legacy, as you wish.

Do you have any further questions? Several times a year, we hold technical presentations on the topics of contingency and estate planning in Nottwil. Specialists will give you answers to the most important questions about the areas of contingency and estate planning in various presentations (in German).
