Is there an authority that can help probate Executors with ethical questions?
Is there an authority (organisation or persons) that can help probate Executors with questions relating to, or requiring, ethical frameworks, processes and practices?
(For example, a family member recipient (and primary support bubble) claiming that the deceased was happy to pay off one of their mortgages that was coming up for renewal)
I think, that if the recipient of the assets was registered with a Power of Attorney, I could contact The Office of the Public Guardian (in the UK) with questions about due process, and ethical conduct?
If the recipient was a registered Health Carer, then that profession has care guidelines (the CQC - Care Quality Commission?)?
But what about if the recipient is a member of the family who is neither of the above - Is there any (ethical) regulator or source who can offer an ethical framework and guidance (rather than judgements)?
I am hoping for some third-party-advice/guidance/a-sanity-check on what Executors should do in specific situations/scenarios like that.
If necessary, I may be happy to pay for guidance/options suggestions on specific scenarios, from sources which can be regarded as authoritative/independent/reputable.
I am then hoping that such guidance/options statements would be acceptable to both joint executors, and can be used to help guide the Executors to an informed path (rather than relying on their layperson knowledge, or who argues last).
Thank you for any advice or help.
