Selling standard life shares problem, help please !
statusquo1
Posts: 67 Forumite
Hi all, wonder if anyone can help. y wife has over 2000 standard life shares and we have decided to sell today as they have risen so much. When i have looked at the share certificate it is in her maiden name and she doesn't have an account in that name obviously . How do i go about selling them today because they require a copy of our marriage certificate to reissue a new one in her married name. Would be gutted if they dropped as a 50p increase is £1000 difference. Any ideas, thanks Col. 0

My of-the-cuff answer (which may be completely wrong) is to sell the shares - get a cheque in her maiden name - and THEN look into how to get the cheque paid in.
Perhaps her bank will accept it if she can then produce your marriage certificate. If not, you may need to get the cheque re-issued, but at least she will have sold the shares and be entitled to the proceeds.".....where it is corrupt, purge it....."0
