I don't get why よう is used here. よう means situation, appearance or will to do
something so I thought.

> 私の死後、[これは(this notebook) アキハに渡す]>よう(situation, will)娘に言いつけた。

The second part is also confusing because Akiha is the daughter, so he is
saying something like:

> After my death, this notebook I will give it to Akiha, so I told my
> daughter.

Am I on the right track?

question
grammar
Verb dictionary form+よう
An easy way to remember this pattern is that it's used when telling someone to
do something else, but it's not limited to that (obviously).

```

    Aさんに, 私に電話するように伝えてください。
    風邪をひかないように気をつけてください。
    
```

Your example is quite similar. The translation of which is "I told my daughter
to give this notebook to Akiha after my death." The way it got infused into my
brain was we had these dialogues my 2nd or 3rd year, where you called for
someone that wasn't home, and told them to call you back (or something else -
as seen in my first example). I think we read those a million times.

Similarly...

```

    そうするように頑張ります。
    いい人になるように頑張ります。
    
```

If you wanted to translate all of these in a similar fashion, you'd simply
translate the verb dictionary form + ように as "to". "Tell him to call me". "Be
careful not to get a cold". "All do my best to do that". "I'll do my best to
become a good person". Colloquially they might come out quite different
though.
