Helping refugees with a will Your will is a special gift A special way to support our work is to include it in your own will. Especially for people who don't know what financial obligations they will face during their lifetime. With a will you can create something lasting - not just in a material sense. A will gives you the opportunity to let your values ​​and social commitment live on - beyond your own life. For example, by supporting the particularly disadvantaged such as refugees and considering the work of the UN refugee aid in your will. By making a will in favor of UN refugee aid, you ensure that your willingness to help bears fruit long after your lifetime. Why a will?

The title of the ad: “Give refugees a future – with your will” surprises many users!

It seems as if you HAVE to do this - or as if it is REQUIRED of you. But that is not the case. Because if you give a refugee a future here, this does not affect the person whose name is mentioned in the will. The UN refugee aid is being used as a legacy. She writes the following:

Can I consider UN refugee aid in my will?

Yes, you can consider the UN refugee aid as a sole or co-heir or with a legacy in a will or inheritance contract. The most common form is that of a legacy. If you would like to help on a long-term basis, you have the option of committing to the UN refugee aid foundation - with a donation , an endowment fund or the establishment of a trust foundation .

Information about the UN Refugee Aid Foundation can be found here: UN Refugee Aid Foundation.

If you have decided to include UN refugee aid in your will, the following wording may be helpful for your will:

a) You would like to appoint the UN refugee aid as co-heirs : “I name my daughter Marianne Schmidt as my heirs with three quarters of my assets and the UN refugee aid eV with a quarter.”

b) You would like to a bequest to the UN Refugee Aid and bequeath it a certain amount of money, a property, securities or an item of value: “I bequeath the UN Refugee Aid eV a sum of 10,000 euros.” Or: “The UNO Refugee Aid eV should receive the savings book number abc at the xy bank as a legacy.”

c) You would like to appoint the UN refugee aid association as the sole heir : “UNO refugee aid association should be the sole heir of all my assets. I am leaving a sum of money of 20,000 euros to my godchild Michael Müller.”

Conclusion:

Even if the title seems to say that you are directly helping a refugee with your will, that is not entirely true . You don't directly support a refugee as a person, but rather the UN refugee aid as a whole!
