When administering an estate, it is important to account for all assets, including any shares held by the deceased.

In some cases, share certificates cannot be located. They may have been lost over time, stored incorrectly, or simply not passed on to those handling the estate.

Without the original certificate, it can be difficult to transfer or sell the shares. This can slow down the administration process and delay distribution to beneficiaries.

Resolving this can take time if handled manually, particularly when dealing with multiple holdings or registrars.

In situations where timing is important, these delays can become frustrating for both personal representatives and beneficiaries.

Services that support the replacement of missing share certificates help remove this barrier. They allow estate administration to continue, ensuring that shareholdings can be dealt with as part of the wider process.

  • Honestly, dealing with Estatesure for unoccupied property insurance has been life-changing for our working practices!

  • Estatesure’s unoccupied property insurancehas made a huge difference for both us and our clients. It is also far quicker to arrange than traditional on the market options. Previously, I would need to contact multiple insurance companies and provide detailed information, ranging from the type of door and window locks to the number of rooms in the property and whether the roof was flat or pitched. I would estimate it used to take between 45 minutes and an hour to obtain insurance quotes for each property. Now, with Estatesure, the process takes seconds, and we only need to provide minimal information, such as the number of bedrooms and the location of the water tank.
