Your love for animals lives on
By including Stichting Animal Protect in your will, you make sure that animals in need still get the help they need after your lifetime. A legacy is a calm, lasting form of protection for animals who have no one to fall back on.
“When I am gone, I want my love for animals to live on in the animals we are able to save. That is my real legacy.”

This is how you arrange a legacy
Draw it up yourself · codicil
Always discuss a codicil or a personal wish carefully and, if in doubt, have a lawyer check whether this form suits your situation.
We prefer to give a sample text personally, so that it matches the current legal situation and your wish.
Through a notary · clause
"If you want to include Stichting Animal Protect in your will, discuss with your notary which wording fits your wish and the formal details that are final at that moment."
The notary can include the right wording based on the formal details that apply at that time.
