Dilemma:
SIL in nursing home 1400 mi away. She received last check from her father's probate ..about $2500.
She does not have a checking account. SIL mailed check to her brother (my husband) while she thought about how to best receive the $$. (As an aside, she was concerned her adult son would get hold of the money and was anxious to get it the money in a safe temporary place.) The money is currently in our checking account ; everybody involved wants the money in SIL's possession soon.
She called DH yesterday to say she would like the money on a pre-paid Visa card. DH told her he does not want to put the card in the US mail.
We need to get this taken care of ASAP. She is frustrated we did not get card in the mail to her this morning. We have no clue what we are doing.
I found pre-paid Visa cards ($500 maximum) that can be mailed from the vendor. We could order cards to equal her money. Is there a better way?
She wants a plastic card - not emailed.
Thank you for your input. DH felt better when I told him I knew of a place to ask for advice.
