Following the death of her sister Sarah last year, Yesha, the liquidator of Sarah's estate, had been in contact with Sarah’s insurance agent Monique on several occasions to claim the death benefit on Sarah’s life insurance policy.

Yesterday, Yesha noticed that Sarah also had a disability insurance policy with a return of premium option which stated that a portion of the premiums can be reimbursed upon her death. Yesha contacted Monique again and asked her for more details about the disability policy and return of premium option but Monique replied that she could not help her as her firm had destroyed Sarah's files shortly after paying out the death benefit.

Did Sarah’s firm act appropriately?
