Add Smissenbroek VZW to Your Will

In Belgium, leaving a legacy to a VZW can be a tax-efficient way to plan your estate. We recommend consulting with your notary to discuss how a "duo-legacy" (duolegaat/legs duo) or a direct bequest can support our non-profit while optimizing the inheritance for your heirs.
