to throw someone's post in the bin

We moved in in December. He dies in August.

Previous times I had called the estate agent and he's collected it to pass to his ex wife, and I have also walked to EA to give it to them to pass on.

I don't feel like I should keep doing this so feel like just throwing it away. Or should I write deceased on the post and put it back in post box? One letter was a utility bill.
Not sure what right or wrong here...

I wouldn't chuck utility bills as they may start hassling you as current house owner. Put "deceased, family moved away" on them. I bin junk mail.

Can you elaborate, NotMeNotYou? Send links, etc. I am vastly intrigued by that.

And I, too, am looking at Barclay's and other financial entities. Glaring, in fact.

I 'return to sender - moved abroad' and as we've been here over a year, I now open all post addressed to them and ring the sender. Barclaycard are particularly rubbish but as they're not paying off their debt I don't want bailiffs on the doorstep!

We had 3 separate letters addressed to someone else at our address marked urgent and confidential, i sent the first 2 back with 'not known at this address' as we have lived here 16 years.When the 3rd one arrived i opened it, it was a debt collector, so i rang them and they were very reasonable and thanked me for letting them know.
