The hereditary process will always be done with the utmost diligence, collaborating with all parties and complying with all legal obligations.
What kind of assets can I bequeath to the Lukas Foundation?
You can bequeath a fixed amount of money or set a percentage on the total value of your estate.

Gifts from a will are free of inheritance taxes. Even though Lukas Foundation is a legal entity, it is not subject to the Inheritance and Donations Tax. Likewise, the income derived from inheritances and bequests are exempt from Corporate Tax because they are a foundation that accepts the tax benefits included in Law 49/2002 on the Fiscal Regime of Non-Profit Entities and Fiscal Incentives for Patronage. Therefore, everything you donate will be fully received by the foundation to be used for the project you want.
