In the occasion of an inheritance to which you are the heir, you can make a donation to SOS Villages d'Enfants Monde of property appearing in the assets of the succession (movable or immovable property). This donation is deducted from the base for calculating inheritance tax and allows you to reduce your taxation.
Unlike a will, a donation involves the immediate transfer of a sum of money or real estate, for example. The donation is an official act. It must be signed in front of a notary but before signing it, it is necessary to seek the advice of his notary to prepare it. You can donate all kinds of goods, rights or values during your lifetime (sum of money, portfolio of securities, works of art, apartment, house, land, etc.). The paperwork is straightforward and your donation can immediately benefit children.
You can designate SOS Villages d'Enfants Monde as the beneficiary, in whole or in part, of your life insurance by entering the name and contact details of the association in the beneficiary clause. All you have to do is notify the insurance company or the bank of your wish to take out a life insurance contract or to modify the beneficiary clause of your contract, specifying the name and address of the association: SOS VILLAGES D'ENFANTS MONDE, 3, rue du Fort Bourbon, L-1249 Luxembourg, RC1431. Throughout your life, you will be able to dispose of your savings in complete freedom. It is not until your death that the insurance company will return the funds to the association.
