With the UNICEF inheritance calculator, you can quickly see how the law governs the distribution of an estate and what scope remains for personal decisions.
Questions such as “Will my partner inherit?”, “What role do relatives such as cousins play?” or “Who is entitled to a compulsory share?” arise for many people when planning their estate. Swiss* inheritance law provides clear rules, while still allowing room for individual choice. Although certain people must be considered by law, a portion of the estate – the freely disposable share – can be allocated according to personal wishes. This share can also benefit organisations such as UNICEF.
The UNICEF inheritance calculator offers a clear overview of how Swiss inheritance law applies to your personal situation. It shows who qualifies as a legal heir, how compulsory shares are calculated, and what proportion of your assets remains freely disposable.
The tool provides transparency and guidance, supporting early and informed estate planning. It helps ensure that your assets are passed on in line with your wishes.
