There is information that covers record keeping post probate on the gov.uk website

Other people also suggest you should also keep

• The original birth, marriage and death certificates for the deceased and their spouse, or a copy of any Court orders such as a divorce degree.

How long to keep is a different matter - the website referenced above says 20 years, other sites say 3, 7 or 12 years
