Beneficiary of will lives overseas. Who pays exchange rate fees on money sent?

I'm assuming that the transfer fee would come from the estate, but the beneficiary would pay the exchange rate fee and any bank fees their end, but just checking. I am also a beneficiary, but in the UK. Thank you.

Thank you all for your additional comments. Wise has come up a few times as the best value money transfer service, so I've sent the beneficiary details of that and one other and will leave it to her to decide whether she wants to use one of those, or a bank.
