Estate Records

Options
I'm hope someone can advise on this.

How long/number of years should I keep Estate Records (correspondents, bank statements etc) from when the Estate has been wound up.

Many Thanks

    I believe the guidance for solicitors is 12 years.

    I still have my Aunt's stuff, about 10 years now. I thinned it down 3 or 4 years ago (it was about 1/2 a photocopier box of paper) shredded what I considered superfluous & kept about 2/3 of a ringbinder full, & stuck that back in the loft.  Another year or two, as K-P has said, & I'll ditch everything except the death cert & grant document.
    Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.
