Bereavement Services

We wish to advise that only when the death of the deceased shareholder has been noted on the Register can any documents be amended to note the capacity of the personal representative(s) or the shares be transferred out/sold of the name of deceased. The Shareholding will need to be ‘administered’, and there are a number of options available depending on your circumstances.

As the shares in the Company are an Irish asset in order that the death of the deceased shareholder may be noted on the Register of Members in respect of the sole shareholding we would be obliged if you would forward the Original Irish Grant of Probate or an official sealed copy of same. Read our ‘When a shareholder passes away’ guide to find out more.

If the original share certificate(s) cannot be located we require a written request for a Letter of Indemnity for lost certificates after the death has been registered. A fee may be required for this service.

Again, we will be able to re-issue any outstanding dividends that you may not be able to locate, after the death has been registered. Please note that a fee may be charged for this service.

After the death of the sole shareholder is registered and beneficiaries wish to have the shares transferred, executor(s) have to sign and complete a stock transfer form(s). The transfer will not attract stamp duty in this. Please return the completed stock transfer form(s) to this office together with the original share certificate(s) for registration.

For an easy to access and simple to use service for selling shares you can contact our share dealing services team. There is no need to pre-register and there are no complicated forms to fill in.
