The question I have is as follows;
A respectable and trustworthy friend of a deceased person has come forward to look for the return of an item he says he lent a deceased person before they passed away. There is no reason to suspect the item was not lent, but it cannot be found. The item was a smallish electronic thing. The deceased did not mention it but its possible ( if not likely) he did have the item at some stage, as he was in to electronic items as a hobby etc.
How best for the executor to resolve the situation ? Should he offer other goods from the estate ( to same approx value ) ? He does not want to offend friend of the deceased but cannot find or even remember seeing the particular item among the deceased many items.
Maybe the executor should offer to show the deased belongings + just show it cannot be found ?
