One in five French people would consider making a bequest to a charitable organization, to take part in a large-scale collective action that benefits everyone. It's a good way of being useful to a cause you support.

But writing a last will and testament is scary, and we tend to procrastinate... Fortunately, writing a will doesn't kill you!

If you have no direct heir (child or spouse), you can pass on your entire estate to a distant or unrelated person. In this case, the inheritance tax will be particularly high, representing up to 60% of the value of the property passed on.
If you find yourself in this situation, you can support the work of a non-profit organization, without reducing the amount payable to the heir you designate.
To do so, you designate the organization of your choice as your universal legatee, with the responsibility of delivering one (or more) specific bequest(s) net of fees and charges to the person(s) of your choice.

In your will, it is possible to state your specific wishes. In accepting the bequest, we undertake to respect your wishes in the use of the funds or assets bequeathed. We will ensure that your bequest supports our most important projects and enables us to carry out effective and useful actions.

You can also designate Agir pour le Coeur des Femmes in the beneficiary clause of your policy.

Donation, bequest, life insurance: which option to choose to show your support?

Transmitting your estate to Agir pour le Coeur des Femmes can be done in different ways:

Donation

A donation is an act by which you pass on an asset (real estate, furniture, sum of money) during your lifetime to an individual or a legal entity, such as Agir pour le Coeur des Femmes. This gift is immediate and irrevocable, which means that the beneficiary becomes the owner as soon as the deed is signed. Donations can take several forms (full ownership, temporary usufruct, donation with usufruct reserve) and can enable you to benefit from tax advantages, notably on income tax.

Legacy

A bequest is a testamentary disposition by which you decide to pass on all or part of your estate to Agir pour le Coeur des Femmes after your death. There are several types of bequest: a universal bequest (transfer of all your assets), a universal bequest (transfer of a portion of your estate), and a specific bequest (transfer of a specific asset). Bequests made to an organization recognized as being in the public interest, such as Agir pour le Coeur des Femmes, are exempt from inheritance tax.

Life insurance transmission

By designating Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes as the beneficiary of your life insurance policy, you ensure that the sums paid into this policy will be passed on to our organization on your death, within the limit of the quotas entered in the beneficiary clause. Funds transferred under a life insurance policy are also generally exempt from inheritance tax.
