A bequest or inheritance is an expression of your values: it shows what is important to you – even beyond your own lifetime. If you wish to support women’s empowerment and safe pregnancies, your will can ensure that what you stand for is felt for a long time to come.
Our partner deinadieu.ch helps you draft your will in a simple, clear and legally compliant manner. A free, user-friendly Will Generator guides you through the process step by step.
It can:
provide a maternity ward where women can give birth safely with professional help.
give young people a future, by enabling them to train as midwives and start working as urgently needed healthcare professionals.
empower girls to stand up confidently for their rights and make their voice heard.
support women suffering from the consequences of birth-related injuries – with medical care and human dignity.
Of this you can be sure: we will honour your trust – and will allocate your gift mindfully, transparently and with the utmost respect for your wishes.
Yes. A will is a must if you want to include a charitable organisation such as ours in your estate via a bequest or inheritance. If you do not have a will, your estate will be distributed in accordance with inheritance rules set out by law.
In Switzerland, there are two common forms:
Handwritten will: written entirely by hand, dated and signed.
Public will: drawn up by a public official (e.g. a notary), in the presence of two witnesses.
The deinadieu.ch platform helps you draft your will in a simple, clear and legally sound manner. A free, user-friendly Will Generator takes you through the process step by step – and automatically calculates the statutory shares based on your family circumstances, for example.
In principle, any natural or legal person may be named as a beneficiary in a will. Spouses and children are entitled to a statutory share of the estate. Only what is termed the ‘free portion’ may be bequeathed to third parties, such as a charitable organisation.
A bequest is a specific gift (for example, a sum of money or an item) to a named person or organisation. Heirs, on the other hand, receive a share of the entire estate and are also liable for any debts. Beneficiaries of a bequest are not heirs and are not liable.
Yes. A will can be revoked or replaced at any time – provided you are of sound mind.
