• Appointment as heir: If you appoint EinDollarBrille e.V. as your sole or joint heir, the organization becomes your legal successor. This means that it receives all or part of your estate, including any liabilities (e.g., debts).

  A bequest is often easier to process, especially if:

• You want to specify what the organization should receive (e.g., €10,000, a securities account, or real estate).
• You want to appoint your relatives as heirs but still want to do good.
• You do not want the organization to be liable for estate debts.

Sample wording for a bequest:

“I bequeath to EinDollarBrille e.V., Obere Karlstraße 29, 91054 Erlangen, Germany, a sum of money amounting to €10,000. The organization is a non-profit organization and is exempt from inheritance tax.”

“EinDollarBrille e.V., Obere Karlstraße 29, 91054 Erlangen, shall receive 25% of my bank assets existing at the time of my death as a bequest.”

Both forms are legally valid as long as they meet the legal requirements.
