Welcome to Action Education Switzerland
Making a bequest
Leaving a legacy means offering a better future to future generations.
What is a legacy?
A bequest is a generous act written into your will that allows you to pass on all or part of your estate to a cause close to your heart, such as access to quality education. It only takes effect after your death, and you remain free to change or cancel your will at any time.
By making a bequest to Action Education Switzerland, you are making a direct contribution to transforming the lives of thousands of children around the world who are deprived of an education. You can choose the amount you wish to bequeath to our association, enabling you to fulfil your obligations to your rightful heirs.
The different types of legacy
Leg particulier
Transfer of a specific asset
Universal bequest
Transfer of part of an estate
Universal leg
Passing on all your assets if you have no heirs with reserved rights

Let's talk about your project
" I know that making a bequest or donation is an important decision, one that is part of each person's own history and that reflects a lifelong commitment and values. Any plan to pass on an estate requires a great deal of thought, dialogue and trust. That's why my role, in addition to advising and guiding you through the process, is above all to listen to you, to understand you and to listen to your wishes so that when the time comes, your wishes are respected as you have decided. So don't hesitate to contact me to start talking about it, in confidence and in complete confidentiality".
