This may be of help:

Payment of gift to minor

£100,000 gift to minor in a Will, absolute, with a parental receipt clause. The minor and parents live in Thailand. The executor has concerns about paying over the money to the parents, one is his sister. The parents are demanding payment under s3(3) Children Act 1989. Are there any grounds for refusing payment of all, or part, of the money? Simon Northcott
