Letters of instruction are informal letters that are used to provide guidance on a particular matter. They are most commonly associated with planning for the end of life, where they are used to convey end-of-life wishes to the next of kin. Unlike a will, a letter of instruction is not legally binding and should not be used in lieu of formal estate planning. However, they are useful for conveying wishes for the funeral, disposal of the body and other pressing matters.
