International Wills Day

13 September is International Wills Day. This awareness day reminds us how important it is to make timely provisions and to plan your estate. A will is much more than a legal formality: it is an expression of responsibility, care, and the opportunity to pass on your values beyond your lifetime.

“A will gives you the opportunity to plan thoughtfully for your loved ones and, beyond that, to support projects and causes that are close to your heart,” says Lucy Schmid, Head of Legacies at Children’s Cancer Switzerland.

A will provides security and clarity for your loved ones while also creating a legacy for the future. By including Children’s Cancer Switzerland in your will, you give hope and new perspectives to children and young people with cancer. “Legacies and bequests make a decisive contribution to enabling us to continue important projects and develop new support services for those affected,” explains Lucy Schmid.

The free Will Guide from Children’s Cancer Switzerland provides information on key legal foundations and explains in a clear and accessible way how to draw up a legally valid will. The guide can be ordered (in German or French) directly and without obligation by email from Lucy Schmid: lucy.schmid@kinderkrebs-schweiz.ch

Anyone interested can create their own personalised will in just a few simple steps – free and without obligation – using the ‘DeinAdieu’ will generator.

This turns a will into a precious gift – for children with cancer and their families.
