CHARITABLE WILL
Support a good cause without prejudicing the legitimate heirs.
A Charitable Will is an easy act of freedom, which consists on including one or more NGOs among the beneficiaries of an inheritance, so that it does not in any case harm the legitimate heirs. NGOs are not subject to the Inheritance Tax, so the donation comes in full.
It is advisable to make a will in order to decide the destination of your properties and rights and protect thus the interests of your heirs. If you do not do it, it will be the law that determines who are the forced heirs and, in their absence, the inheritance will be at the disposal of the administrations .
AM I PREJUDICING THE LEGITIMATE HEIRS BY DOING A CHARITABLE WILL?
No. The Law protects the people considered to be legitimate heirs by making a mandatory division of the inheritance that those protected.
