Bequests to big cats Stichting Leeuw in your will
More and more people are deciding to donate (part of) their estate to charity. Because they think it is important to continue working on their ideal even after their death. This way, they contribute to a better world even after their death. Bequests to charity can only be made through a will drawn up by a notary. A codicil (your own handwritten statement) is not sufficient.
Tax-free
Heirs have to pay inheritance tax on the inheritance they receive. How much that is depends on certain criteria. Charities with ANBI status do not have to pay tax on an inheritance or bequest. They are completely exempt from inheritance tax. This allows charities to use their share in an inheritance for their objective 100 per cent.
