Commentary for Kiddushin 52:9
וניזכינהו ניהליה אגב אחר לא סמכה דעתיה סבר שמיט ואכיל להו
on his death, the Sages confirmed his testimony. Now, if you say that they [the movables] must be heaped up thereon, for what is a square handbreadth fit? - The reference here is to money.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' He gave them money worth all that, and money could actually be placed thereon.');"><sup>12</sup></span> Reason too supports this.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
Theoretically, he could have transferred his money to another by use of a third party. But this would entail the risk that a third party would steal the money. Due to this risk, his only option was to transfer the money through land.
