After someone has died, it is important to keep their medications for a period of time in case they are needed for investigation purposes. The exact length of time may vary depending on local laws and regulations, but typically medications should be kept for at least a few weeks to a few months. It is important to consult with healthcare professionals or legal authorities for specific guidance in each situation.

After someone has died, you don't need to keep their prescribed medicines. It is normally advised by the National Health Service (NHS), that you dispose of any medicines of people who have pased away. Either that, or you should hand in any medicines at you local pharmacist or GP clinic. So that they can dispose of this unwanted medication in a safe and convenient way, or re-use it to suit their needs.
