Make your legacy a hope for the future 

Make a legacy: 
A bequest is a testamentary provision that allows you to pass on all or part of your estate to IARC after your death. 
Your will is revocable at any time. 
 
Make a donation: 
A donation is an irrevocable act signed before a notary, allowing you to transfer, during your lifetime, money or movable or immovable property to IARC. 
 
Take out life insurance: 
Life insurance is both a tax-advantageous investment and an ideal tool for wealth transfer. Regardless of your life insurance contract, it necessarily includes a clause allowing you to freely designate IARC as the beneficiary of your capital in case of death.
