Organising your estate is not something you do lightly.
Bequests may cover all your assets (universal bequests) or be limited to part of your assets (specific bequests). Inheritance tax is limited and varies according to the location of the deceased's last place of residence.
You're probably asking yourself some very legitimate questions. What steps should you take? How can you be sure that your wishes will be respected? How can your estate be divided fairly between your heirs and the Institute ?
As manager of testamentary relations, Sibylle Moreels will work with you in complete discretion to discuss this mutual opportunity, according to your wishes.
Donating stocks or life insurance to the Institute offers numerous advantages. It can yield significant tax benefits. By leveraging these assets, you can maximize your impact and leave a lasting legacy for a cause you're passionate about.
