Testament donation: How to promote good after your death!

Testament donation: How to promote good after your death!

Meraner Straße 11, 6460 Imst, Österreich - On June 3, an informative emergency lecture on the will donation took place in the Imst Chamber of Commerce, which made great interest. The lecture was led by notary's substitute Mag. Stefan Krabichler and provided a deep insight into the legal aspects of wills and the opportunities to support non -profit organizations. The initiative Forgetmeinnicht has set itself the task of increasing awareness of will donations. It has already combined 100 Austrian organizations, including an auxiliary organization internationally, light for the world, four paws and youth a world.

An exciting aspect of the lecture was the measures to promote will donations, which in 2024 already led to an impressive volume of around 115 million euros, which corresponds to about 10 % of the total donation in Austria. Ernestine Tesmer of Youth shared the moving history of a housekeeper who informed a single gentleman about the possibility of the will. This decided to donate to 22 aid organizations.

tips and information on the testament creation

One of the central recommendations of the event was to contact the aid organizations during his lifetime to ensure that your own wishes are taken into account in the will. The initiative Forgetmeinnicht offers support and informs about the legal basis of the will.

In Austria, a will must be written either hand -handed or by a notary, whereby the original version must be available. Copies are not sufficient. A will can be changed at any time, which enables flexible handling of the last wishes.

series of events and free consultations

As part of the "Weekly Testament", further information events are planned: On June 4, there will be a lecture in Götzis, followed by another date on June 5 in Kufstein. The events are not only informative, but also free of charge, which is a great opportunity for interested parties, to learn more about the difference between heritage and legacy and the design of wills.

An important point that was emphasized in the discussion is the tax exemption for inheritance that goes to non -profit organizations. This means that when it was inherited to such institutions there is no inheritance tax, which provides testament donors additional incentives to use their assets for a good cause. In contrast, the legal succession often only takes into account blood relatives and close relatives.

The specific topics such as compulsory portion, living will and the safe storage of a will can also inform themselves to fully exploit their options. Registration for the events takes place easily via the website of the initiative.

The next events demonstrate the commitment of forget -me -not to tackle the testament with heart and mind and to persuade many to use their assets sustainably and sensibly. A real profit for many non -profit organizations and society as a whole.
