Here's a California law as it applies to county administrator investigators and other. We call it 27443. It says that every person in a public administrator, public guardian, or public conservator office needs to have a sense for common decency. This means they must not rip-off decedent's property or their survivor's property. Some county employees do exactly that, rip-off family survivors of homicide, suicide, and unattended death. This means such an officer is guilty of a crime when purchasing, directly or indirectly, stuff from the estate of their assigned decedant client's property.
Even claims against property of any estate or a claim against any estate administered by such a public adminstrator, public guardian, or public conservator in his official capacity must occur without creating a profit-like relationship to the decedent's property, interests, or family.
This all goes to the heart of common decency, I've been told.
These Orange County Administrator employees are not supposed to have any transaction or expenditure in connection with
the administration of an estate by the public administrator, public
guardian, or public conservator in his official capacity, when he has
a financial interest in such transaction or expenditure, or, having
knowledge of such interest, is associated in business with anyone who
has such an interest.
This redundant stuff will end soon.
Now, according to law, violation of 27443 may lead to a fine "not
exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by imprisonment in the
county jail not exceeding one year, or by both such fine and
imprisonment, or by imprisonment in the state prison." I'm not so sure this county jail time would really do anyone justice. Once inside an Orange County jail, a county administrator evil-doer could go into the bail bond business, as so many Orange County Sheriff-Deputies have done over the last ten years.
Anyway, once convicted of swindling decedent's property and family, these type of thieves "forfeit" their office.
Although I have not written about common decency in any great way here, readers will find this idea throughout the above between sentences.
