My dad passed away last year, DB and I executors and beneficiaries. At the time DB and I sorted through all paperwork concerning his estate (step mum showed us where to find it) plus his belongings in the house he shared with our step mum. We visited her this week for 1st time in a year and she said she'd come across my dad's old divorce papers from his 2nd marriage. She told us she was v annoyed that we hadn't sorted them as she'd had to shred them. I was quite taken aback as I didn't know he still had them and didn't think it was a. Our responsibility to dispose with old papers that have nothing to do with his estate and b. Appropriate to go rifling through drawers without her directing us to do so at the time, especially as the Will has all been sorted? AIBU to wonder if as executors we should have gone through ALL his paperwork?
