Unfortunately, in practice there have been awkward situations that require additional efforts on part of the individuals who are going through a difficult time.

Like other handicaps, ownership of shares that the late individual possessed need to be reported to the courthouse that is handling his/her estate, you then await for a definite answer of how many shares and to whom they have been left to through his/her living will. Important remark: The judge needs to remind you that shares by law cannot be divided, so in this case dividing total amount of shares to one or more inheritants has to be an equal amount of shares to each party.

After receiving legal documentation from the courts, you need to go to the Central Register - where your broker finishes the transfer of shares to your ownership account in the Central Register. On this occasion, all inheritants need to show up with a copy of their identification cards.

After completion of ownership changes in the Central Register, your broker can give you an abstract of your owner account, which can be used as proof of ownership.
