Legacies & In memoriam
Giving a future, beyond your lifetime
Choosing to support WAPA with a bequest is a deeply meaningful way of passing something on.
By including WAPA in your will, you help children affected by armed conflict regain protection, care, education and prospects for the future.
In Belgium, there are several types of bequest: the universal legacy, the specific legacy and, in Brussels and Wallonia, the duo legacy (legs en duo / duolegaat), a specific arrangement that lets you leave part of your estate to a loved one and another part to a charity, whilst optimising inheritance tax. In Flanders, the duo legacy was abolished on 1 July 2021 and replaced by the vriendenerfenis, a reduced rate for friends and other non-relatives.
Where it applies, the duo legacy allows WAPA to pay the inheritance tax due on the bequest to your loved one, under the conditions set out in your will and the legislation in force.
This generous gesture lets you honour your loved ones whilst providing lasting support for a cause close to your heart.
If you have any questions, our team can advise you in complete confidence.
In memory of a loved one
“No flowers or wreaths”: honouring the memory of a loved one.
Some people choose to replace flowers or wreaths with a donation to a charity. This gesture turns a symbolic tribute into concrete support, full of meaning and hope. Thank you in advance for this kind thought.
