Inheritance and solidarity legacies

Making a solidarity testament is a great way of leaving a lasting mark in helping improve the future of the many children and youth with cancer and other grave illnesses. This includes naming a non-profit organization, like the Villavecchia Foundation, as an inheritor of an estate or asset.

This gesture helps support projects that change the lives of many children, guaranteeing the continuance of our mission. Including a solidarity legacy in your testament can have a lasting impact, promising hope for many families and future generations. Making a solidarity legacy is easy, you only have to indicate that it is included in your testament at a notary. 

This is a very special way to collaborate with children and youngsters suffering from cancer and to help beyond time.

Leave a solidarity legacy or make a will leaving part of it to the Foundation's solidarity project.

The tax data of our organization has to be included in the document:

Fundación de Oncología Infantil Enriqueta Villavecchia
G58644865
Sant Antoni Maria Claret, 167. Pavelló Santa Victoria. 08025 Barcelona

Any donation, as small as it might be, is important to keep offering a better quality of life to children and youth diagnosed with cancer or other grave illnesses. 

How to make a testament? 

You can make a testament before a notary. The testamental notary is able to be realized at 14 years old, and can be open (a person can express their intention to a notary, who will write it into the testment) or closed (the person writes the testament and delivers it to the notary in a closed envelope). The transaction can be done by hand, being valid as long as it includes a location and date, and presented to a judge in the next four years following death. 

You can leave financial assets (money, actions, probonos…), a percentage or the total amount of your heritable, immovable estates (apartments, buildings, “locales”…) or mobile assets (artwork, vehicles, and other valuable objects). 

The legacy solidarity does not complicate or change the rights of the legitimate inheritors and is exempt from taxes on successions and donations.
