What happens if a shareholder dies?
Inform our registrar by sending a certified copy of the death certificate together with the original Grant of Probate (or a sealed office copy) or the Letters of Administration. The name of the deceased’s personal representative(s) will be substituted on our share register while the estate is finalised. In the case of a joint holding only the certified death certificate is required together with the share certificates in order to register the shares into the sole survivor’s name. There are options for the person entitled to the shares to be registered as the holder of them or for the shares to be transferred or sold. Please contact our registrar who will provide further details.
