How can I settle the estate

Settle your estate

The good remains of my life

Based on the realization that life's work matters and that many people wish to leave a lasting impact, it is important to make comprehensive and early arrangements for your estate. This will ensure that all your wishes - such as grave care and burial - are respected and that your survivors receive clear instructions.

A solicitor or notary can help you to ensure that all legal requirements are met.

If you would like your estate - be it cash, securities or real estate - to benefit the SOS Children's Villages SV Foundation, we will be happy to advise and support you.

Brief guide to estate planning

1. Preparation
Make a detailed list of your assets. Determine how your assets should be distributed among your heirs or to a charitable organization. Choose a trusted person who will be responsible for settling your estate after your death. Consider whether there are any special wishes, such as the care of pets or grave care, etc.

2. Communication
Have discussions with your heirs about your decisions and wishes to avoid misunderstandings and disputes. Family peace should be maintained.

3. Legal arrangement
It is advisable to consult a lawyer or notary to ensure that your will and other estate documents are legally sound and correctly reflect your wishes. It is important that the names and addresses of the beneficiaries and organizations are correct.

4. Documentation and safekeeping
Keep the original of your will and other important documents in a safe place, e.g. in a safe deposit box, with a notary or deposit the will with the court.

The legal guide helps you to get an initial overview of the currently applicable inheritance law.
