How do you go about it?
It goes without saying that your loved ones are the first beneficiaries of your will or inheritance agreement. Thus, spouses, descendants or parents are always entitled to a minimum share known as the inheritance reserve. Other family members, such as brothers and sisters, are not reserved heirs. The fraction of the estate that exceeds the reserved portion is known as the "reserved portion". available share. You may dispose of it as you wish, for example by bequeathing it to a charitable organisation such as the Association pour la Sauvegarde du Léman - ASL. If you have no reserved heirs, you can also make the Association pour la Sauvegarde du Léman - ASL the universal heir.
In the absence of a will or inheritance agreement, your estate will be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Swiss Civil Code. If there is no will and you have no heirs, your entire estate will revert to the State.
Finally, for a will to be valid, it must be written in your own handwriting, bearing the date, place and signature, with the name and precise address of our association:
Association pour la Sauvegarde du Léman - ASL
Rue des Cordiers 2,
CH-1207 Geneva
