In my view, Ivinian society being much more dependent on the clan, Igon would have this power. Not because he's a priest but because he's the heir to Seld.
A trusted retainer like a huscarl is certainly an option (although Laenvan is not one any more than Ulauf is), or an adopted member of family. If you recall, this happened before in the Seld history although the man in question married a Seld woman. Perhaps the former makes the most sense from a clan POV - the trusted retainer route.
