How do I register the death of a shareholder?
You should contact Equiniti Limited in the first instance who will arrange to send you the relevant forms for completion. In order to have the shares transferred, you will normally need to provide the Registrars with a court sealed copy of the Grant of Representation. If, however, the market value of the shares is less than £10,000, and the overall value of the estate is less than £234,000, it may be possible to use a special small estates procedure.
