Why this matters

An emergency is the worst time to search for passwords, phone numbers, policies, and instructions.

Living in another country adds unfamiliar systems, language barriers, consular questions, and documents your family may not know how to find. This workbook gives them one organized place to begin.

Questions

What buyers usually want to know.

Is this a physical binder or a digital download?

The $39 product is a digital printable kit that you can download, print, and place in your own binder. A completed printed-binder option may also be available separately in Mexico; contact James for current availability.

Is this only for U.S. citizens?

No. It is designed for foreign residents and their families living in Mexico, regardless of nationality. Some consular and document details will depend on your country of citizenship.

Is this a legal document or a substitute for a will?

No. The workbook is an organizational and preparedness resource. It does not replace a will, power of attorney, advance directive, legal advice, medical advice, or professional services.

Do I need to complete everything at once?

No. Start with the emergency contacts and checklist, then complete the remaining sections over time. The workbook is designed to make a large subject manageable.
