Gifts, inheritances & legacies

With a gift, an inheritance or a legacy, you can support the Zentrum Paul Klee in fulfilling its cultural mission for future generations.

By making a donation or a bequest in your will, you are helping to secure the Zentrum Paul Klee's long-term future. We will be happy to advise you.

When you make a gift, you leave a cash or non-cash benefit (e.g. a work of art) to a person or organization during your lifetime.
If you are considering donating a work of art to the Zentrum Paul Klee, we recommend that you contact us in advance.
You can decide for yourself who should inherit what - taking into account the compulsory portions for spouses and direct descendants. Charitable organizations such as the Zentrum Paul Klee can also be beneficiaries. This enables you to remain committed to art beyond your lifetime. Inheritances and legacies to charitable organizations are exempt from inheritance tax in Switzerland and can therefore have their full effect without deduction.
Legacy/bequest: In your will or inheritance contract, you bequeath a fixed sum of money or certain valuables to the Zentrum Paul Klee. If you are considering bequeathing a work of art, we recommend that you contact us in advance.
Inheritance: In your will, you designate the Zentrum Paul Klee as heir to a percentage of your estate - taking into account the compulsory shares of vulnerable spouses and direct descendants. The Zentrum Paul Klee thus becomes a co-heir. If there are no spouses or direct descendants, the entire estate can also be left to the Zentrum Paul Klee as sole heir.
We recommend that you discuss the will or inheritance contract with a notary you trust. We will be happy to advise you and can also put you in touch with specialists.
