The court may entertain applications by a fiduciary to advise and\ndirect in other extraordinary circumstances such as complex valuation\nissues, or tax elections, or where there is conflict among interested\nparties, but need not entertain jurisdiction if to do so would be merely\nto substitute the court's judgment for that of the fiduciary.\n 3.
