"fait accomplir" ou "fait exécuter"
Suggestion
Le choix entre accomplir et exécuter étant à faire selon que l'action est décidée par le "représentant" ou que celui-ci agit en tant qu'exécuteur d'une décision prise par une autre instance.

: Obviously, the second verb needs to be chosen according to the action involved. / Oh yes, I was just confirming you were right to suggest suitable verbs.

Thanks, Tony, I do believe the second verb is the right one.

faire faire
I think you'll find 'faire ...' is one common way of rendering 'cause to be done' or 'have done'

*sigh* OBVIOUSLY the verb used for 'do'/'done' needs to be chosen according to exactly WHAT it is that is being 'done' — I merely re-used Asker's own verb in order to illustrate the possible construction using 'faire', since I believe that was the crux of the question.
The actual verb to be used after 'faire' probably justiifies a separate question.

: Worse still (or better, depending on your point of view) in Asker's ST: faire ou faire faire :) It reminds me of the classic English punctuation test: "John where Jack had had had had ... had ... had had the teacher's approval.

Thanks, Robin! Of course, the second verb does need to be changed, according to context, but I wasn't worrying about that specifically.

: (fait faire) J'éviterais, ne serait-ce que pour le niveau de langage. // "whatever" doesn't allow to know exactly "what" is going to be done.

Obviously, the Asker's own suggestion of 'faire' for 'done' needs revising, in the light of exactly WHAT is being done, and hence use a suitable second verb.

Je promets de confirmer tout acte légalement posé, directement ou indirectement, par ledit mandataire [dans le contexte d'un testament, "fondé de pouvoir" ou "procureur" seraient probablement plus justes], sur les lieux.
acte posé par le mandataire: directement
quand le mandataire demande qu'on fasse qlqe chose pour lui : indirectement
