The Chinese Testament Library provides free services for the elderly: any elderly person who has reached the age of 60 can apply for will consultation, registration and custody free of charge after filling out the application form.
The first registration center of Chinese Testament Library was officially put into operation on March 2, 2065, and its address is located at No.73 Xijiaomin Lane, Beijing. By the end of 20 17, China Wills Bank had provided more than 654.38+million free will consultation services for the elderly, and registered and preserved about 82,000 wills. As of August 20 19, a 10 registration center and 57 service centers have been established nationwide, covering Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hong Kong, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou and other cities.
According to the Twelfth Five-Year Plan of National Basic Public Service System (Guo Fa [2012] No.29) and the Construction Plan of Community Service System (20112015) (Guo Ban Fa [2065438) According to the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly, "legally established organizations for the elderly should safeguard their legitimate rights and interests and serve the elderly" and "advocate and encourage voluntary service for the elderly". In order to give full play to the positive role of social organizations in social management innovation, safeguard the legitimate property and inheritance rights and interests of the elderly, promote the culture of respecting and loving the elderly, and promote family harmony, it is jointly decided by China Foundation for the Development of Ageing and Beijing Sunshine Health Foundation for the Elderly. The Chinese Testament Bank has been supported by the special funds for social construction in Beijing.
The Chinese Testament Library is a public welfare project, but public welfare undertakings cannot be maintained only by feelings or enthusiasm. It must have a sustainable development model and a perfect mechanism. In addition to actively seeking the support of relevant government departments, the Chinese Testament Bank must also seek the support of the whole society. In addition, since its establishment nine years ago, China Testament Bank has developed its own innovative model, that is, fostering goodness through business and promoting business through goodness.
The public welfare project of the Chinese Testament Library only provides public welfare services for the elderly, that is, the elderly who are over 60 years old and have less than one property right house. There are about 260 million elderly people in China. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 99.8 million elderly people who meet the conditions for handling public welfare wills. This is also a very large number. Therefore, people beyond the scope of public welfare must pay, and the fees they receive will be used to support the development of public welfare undertakings again. This is called fostering good with business and promoting business with good.
Since its establishment nine years ago, China Testament Bank has reached a balance, absorbing the energy of merchants and enhancing the ability of kindness. The charges for each non-public will are actually irrigation for the development of public welfare undertakings. In other words, signing a paid will in the Chinese will library is actually doing good deeds for public welfare. In addition to providing a free online inquiry system, the Chinese Testament Library will set up parks in three regions of the country in the future, including a permanent testament library, a data research and development center and an experience exhibition center.
