Ombudsman’s Determination
Outcome

My reasons for reaching this decision are explained in more detail in paragraphs 34 to 42 below.

Mr Y complained that the Trustee required him to complete a Certificate of Existence (COE) Form.
He said that email correspondence was sufficient evidence that he was still alive, and he did not consider it lawful for the Trustee to enforce the completion of a COE.
