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.
