I was the executor of a Calif. estate for the years 1990 and 1991. The estate was probated in Calif and closed in 1991. I've retained all paperwork, bills, cancelled checks, Calif and Federal Estate income taxes, and so on.
How long should I retain these records?
I would like to shred the pile because by now these papers will have little meaning to anybody, but I want to know if there are legal or tax requirements, or if there are records I should retain indefinitely.
