Well, if we do have a global financial meltdown like 1929, and the government can't step in and save the day because they are broke, then we realize the banks are playing with monopoly electronic money instead of real dollars, well, everything would freeze instantly.  

At this time the "best" solution I have come up with is to open a joint account with the ex-wife, and have the state (which collects the payments electronically then deposits into her account) re-direct payment to our joint account, and eventually have her "drop off" from the account.Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Why not avoid the wire fee altogether and have the money transferred electronically? 

I would do so locally, both because (A) leveraging real human networks (not so much electronic ones) is the best way I know of to get things done in real estate and (B) if you're doing something local, you will learn in a way that you won't be doing something passive remotely. 

Install electronic lock box and program the lock box with agreed-upon showing-time windows.65.

I liked induction when it first came out and did it in 2 homes with mixed reviews and recently many have had trouble with the electronic control units.

If you are a broker/ agent there is usually an MLS system that has a tax module for all of this info.Alternatively depending on the size of the county or city they might have this electronically online.It depends on your area.

As a partner or member her credit will also be considered along with yours, might be more of a formality as they may rely on you.You can also arrange electronic signatures, so you could be anywhere and execute documents, ask the lender and check state law as to electronic document and contract execution.
