SOLIDARITY LEAVE
A CHOICE FOR THE FUTURE OF CHILDREN
The decision to leave even a portion of one’s wealth in a will is a guarantee that one’s principles and aspirations will be translated into concrete and lasting projects, a promise to children and their families that everything will be done to help them achieve their small and big goals. But it is also a declaration of will that allows CARE TO ACTION to further consolidate its commitment, ensuring continuity in the design of interventions over time and generating an increasingly significant social impact in the community.
THE VARIOUS TYPES OF WILLS
HOLOGRAPHIC WILL
A holographic will is a document written, dated and signed entirely by hand by the testator. This form of will does not require the presence of witnesses and is usually kept by a notary, the testator themselves or a trusted third party. There are no costs involved unless professional advice is sought. It is important that the text is clear and that the testator is of sound mind at the time of writing.
PUBLIC WILL
A public will is drawn up by a notary, who collects the testator’s wishes and writes them down in the most appropriate legal form in the presence of two witnesses. The notary records the testator’s will in a public document, which attests not only to the authenticity of the document but also to the notary’s verification of the testator’s capacity. If the testator is incapable of signing, the notary will acknowledge this. It is difficult to contest and the costs vary according to the complexity of the provisions and the size of the estate.
SECRET WILL
This is the least common form. In this case, the contents remain unknown even to the notary, who receives them in a sealed envelope and keeps them until they are opened after the testator’s death. It can be written on a computer or typewriter, even by a third party. It must be dated and signed by the testator. If it is not written in the testator’s own hand, the signature must be placed not only at the bottom but also on each half page.
It is then placed in a sealed envelope and presented to the notary in the presence of two witnesses. The notary will issue a receipt.

LIFE INSURANCE
AN ALTERNATIVE FOR DOING GOOD
In addition to bequests and donations made during life, it is possible to support CARE TO ACTION through a life insurance policy. Life insurance is an effective way of supporting the activities of a charitable organisation.
This type of policy stipulates that in the event of the death of the policyholder, the amount agreed in the contract will be paid to the chosen organisation. This allows the policyholder to make a gesture of solidarity with the non-profit organisation and contribute to the achievement of its objectives. Life insurance can be taken out for different amounts, depending on the financial resources available to the insured, and is open to people of all ages.
It is important to note that the life insurance policy does not form part of the estate and is therefore not included in the calculation of the legitimate share of the heirs. When taking out the policy, simply name CARE TO ACTION as the beneficiary. If the policy is already in force, you can change this designation at a later date by notifying the insurance company or by including it in your will as a testamentary clause.
