Bank draft vs check

Kenneth:

Refer to Mr. Cottons's post as he explains a great way to handle this matter whether you are local or long distant.

We are in the process of leasing our Texas minerals. However, three members of our family are in three different states. We are here in Texas for the winter.
In the past we have used the bank draft method, but that was before we became knowledgeable about problems that could arise. Thanks to this forum we know a bank draft is not a good way to go.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how we should handle the lease/money transaction with all of us being so far away?
We have thought of hiring an attorney to act as a third party. Other ideas.
Thanks,
the Haags
