Anyone who may be responsible for managing another person's real estate or personal property (either on short notice or as a long-term commitment) can benefit from Just-in-Case Instructions. This can include spouses, family members, friends, or anyone who you trust to look after your affairs on your behalf. For instance, if you know you'll be away on an extended business trip or vacation, you could send these instructions to the person entrusted to take care your pets so they know what your pet will need while you're away. Alternately, a person could refer someone to these instructions during an emergency to call your emergency contact person or find out if there are any important medications you need to take. Just-in-Case Instructions can also be an asset to anyone who is formally appointed to be your personal representative, such as an attorney-in-fact in a Power of Attorney or an executor in a Last Will. Without these instructions, your representative may be left searching for information or locked out of a property they were supposed to manage.
