<div>Hello Randy,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here are the guidelines I always followed:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) Was a 706 required with the State of WA or the IRS? If so, keep it for 7 to 10 years.</div>
<div>2) Assuming that the Inventory and Appraisement was <b>not</b> filed with the Court, keep it and how your client arrived at all of the values for 7 to 10 years.</div>
<div>3) Assuming everything else was filed with the Court, then there is no need to keep those documents.</div>
<div>4) I am not recommending that you destroy your own file on this for 7 to 10 years, to protect yourself and to possibly provide something that might be needed in the future if your client dies and her documents are not available.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
