Shares in private limited company and probate
Posted: January 21st, 2017, 12:57 pm
My friend is trying to establish probate on his cousin's estate. No will has been found as yet, but one is thought to have been written, what has been found are several certificates for shares in Chillington Corporation, dated 1986, these are for just 29 9.5% Cumulative Redeemable preference shares, the company has been re-named since then as PGI Group. I've looked them up, there's a distinct lack of phone numbers and email addresses, but their address is in the city, my question is selling/transferring shares in a private limited company, how is it done? How are they valued?I suppose the first thing to do is contact the company.
Any thoughts on how easy or not this might be? Will my friend need professional help?
Thanks in advance for any help,
David
