I agree with my Co Counsel Mike. I practice in the area of estates and probate and wouldnt think of sending out a huge check unless I used Certified with Return Receipt Requested mail with Proof of Mailing plus insure it. Other delivery methods Id consider are Fed Ex or UPS (or their Merger Fed Up)....
Okay, its the lawyer NOT YOU who engaged in this at least arguably "questionable" method of funds distribution, so if anyone were "negligent" and liable Id guess its him NOT you. The only way I see you would be guily of anything would be if you were negligent in the choice of the attorney and thats likely not the case.
Id also be calling the bank who issued the check to STOP payment,,,,,,,,Contact the Niece,,,,,,,,Then wait some time (be sure STOP payment is in place and it never was presented for payment or heaven forbid paid) and re issue a new check THIS TIME USE CERTIFIED MAIL AND INSURANCE.
Best wishes
PS Im NOT familiar with the law of your state (dont even know which it is) so this is simply my best free "educated" though still professional GUESS and unresearched "opinion" ....No warranty... Consult a local qualified competent trained professional ATTORNEY instead of taking advice here is my other free advice.
