How to give Will Behest to to untrustworthy person in Oz

My dsis IS a nasty un trustworthy piece of work.

She has in the past taken twice the amount of money given to her in previous behest.

I will at some point need to issue her with money from a new person who has passed away, how do I do this over seas and make 100% concrete sure she has received it - also signed for it - ie - I accept this as receipt of all monies from estate sort of thing...

because she will if she can - say she hasn't received it and cause more problems....

Electronic bank transfer?

she also needs to sign something to say she accepts the money and thats her final claim on estate but she is awkward and probably wont sign it. She will do what she can to make the process painful.

Get her to sign the thing first, tell her that the money will be sent once the executor has received the signed document. Then either engage a solicitor in her city and send the money to their client account and get them to have her sign for receipt of a cheque or do a transfer directly to her account.

Actually, given that she has acted fraudulently in the past, getting her to pick up a cheque from a solicitor would probably be the best option. It puts a middle-man between you and her. Your responsibility for the money ends when you send it to the solicitor's client account. If she tries to claim that she hasn't received the money her claim will be against the solicitors and not you. It's probably worth the slight extra cost to the estate for the added peace of mind.

Yes this sounds like a really good plan and one I assume that can be done....I am happy to pay extra to save myself years of headaches from her.
she wont like it.....she moves around alot so would need to find one near her.

You could ask her to tell you which town she would prefer, there are solicitors everywhere, you can just Google.

She'll probably kick off about it, but you can say to her it's for procedural reasons that your legal advisor explained to you but you don't fully understand. The short explanation is that it will take much longer to get the money to her if it doesn't go through a solicitors. I'm guessing that the chance of a delay will make her much more cooperative.
