Solidarity legacy: a gesture of love within everyone's reach
The number of Italians is growing (10/15% in 10 years) who insert the solidarity legacy in their last wishes. What is it about? In practice, a donation to non-profit organizations, associations and organizations. An act of love and generosity that can allow you to contribute to change the world, even after life, a simple and non-binding gesture, which can be rethought, modified at any time and without any damage to the legitimate rights of one's own. loved ones and family members.
To choose to insert a solidarity bequest in the will it is not necessary to have large assets, you can leave even a small part of your assets, any sum of money, a movable property, for example a jewel, a real estate, such as land , the life policy and also equities and investment securities. Therefore, we can all choose to do so.
In our country, according to a Solidarity Testament survey, it is currently women who make the difference among those who have prepared a solidarity legacy with their will: two out of three are women, 63.8% of cases. Half of the donations made are under 20 thousand euros, 25% amount to between 20 thousand and 50 thousand euros. 18.1% of what is destined has an important economic value ranging from 50 thousand to 100 thousand euros, and a small portion equal to 8.5% of the bequests made goes beyond 100 thousand euros. Only a small circle gives truly exceptional figures.
Although, according to the numbers of the survey carried out for the Solidarity Testament campaign by GFK Eurisko, Italians at the end of their lives do not want to hear about it, the research also highlights a growing desire to learn more about solidarity legacies, a topic on which currently the information available is inaccurate and limited.
This is why, to raise awareness on the subject, the testamentosolidale.org site was created, where you can also ask for the opinion of a notary, and the guide of the same name. "Who should I contact to make a solidarity bequest?", "What kind of bequest can be made to an organization?"
“Italians are increasingly interested in investigating the issue of solidarity legacies, in this the“ social ”role of the notary becomes crucial in providing information, without any constraint or commitment. Today we are alongside Testament Solidarity precisely to raise awareness among the people we meet every day ", explains Albino Farina, Director in charge of Relations with the Third Sector and with the Consumer Associations of the National Council of Notaries.
