The questions families ask us most.

First, if this is a medical emergency, call 911. When you are ready, go straight to Part 5: The Final Hours and After. It walks you through exactly who to call and what to gather, step by step, in the order you need it. Everything else can wait.

No. Each of the eight parts stands on its own. Walking them in order works beautifully, but you can begin wherever your life is pointing today: the paperwork in Part 4, the conversation in Part 1, or anywhere else.

It is entirely self-paced. There are no quizzes, no deadlines, and no falling behind. Each page is short, about thirty seconds to read, and your place is saved automatically, so you can close it for an hour or a month and return exactly where you left off.

Expat families living full time or part of the year anywhere in Mexico, in any of four situations: caring for someone who is declining, getting organized so your family is never left guessing, facing your own diagnosis, or finding your way after a loss has already happened. Wherever you are standing, there is a door here for you.

It is exactly the right time. Almost everything in the practical section is easier to do now, calmly, than later. The Life File takes a weekend to start. The Notario letter is one appointment. Doing it while nothing is wrong is the entire point.

No. Part Four is emergency planning for people who are perfectly well. What happens if you have an accident or a medical emergency in Mexico, which number to call, which ambulance comes, what your insurance actually covers here, and the single page that goes in your glove box so a first responder knows your blood type and your medications. Many people buy it for that section alone and read the rest later.

Part Six is written to you and nobody else. What the exhaustion does to your body, why friends stop calling, how to ask for help that actually helps, and the relief that comes at the end along with the guilt right behind it. Most people in your position tell us it was the part they did not know they needed.

Everything is yours to print as often as you need.

Yes. While Lu lives and works in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, the Adios Amigos Guide is built for expat households across all of Mexico. Whether you are in Lake Chapala, San Miguel de Allende, Puerto Vallarta, Mérida, Oaxaca, or anywhere else, the core realities of navigating a medical emergency, empowering a Local Designee with a Notario, working with consulates, and preparing your Life File are the same, and the worksheets are designed for you to record the specific contacts and protocols for your local area.

No. This is educational, drawn from Lu’s lifetime of experience. It is not a substitute for professional medical, legal, or financial advice. Always confirm decisions with qualified local professionals.

It reflects Lu’s experience and common practice across Mexico. Laws, fees, and procedures vary from state to state and change over time, so always verify the specifics for your own area with a local Notario or attorney before you rely on them. The guide is written to teach you what to expect and what to ask, rather than to hand you a single answer that may not apply where you live.
