US Stocks Owned by my late Father

cally1964

I have a share certificate for some US stocks in my late fathers name. He passed away early 2018 and I have probate on his estate.  I wondered how I would go about selling these shares? There are only 56 shares in total. Any help greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Thanks for your reply. I will look into contacting this broker.

Just had a quick check on this and apparently Redmayne Bentley Stockbrokers charge an initial £100 to open an account and their charges are quite high. Another avenue could be via Capita as they were agents at one time. Anybody know more on this?.....oh and the shares are in a company called Parthus Ceva which I now understand is known as just Ceva, so I think the share certificate will need replacing?

I notice at the end of the article 
Jayna Rana adds: Redmayne Bentley is just one of a number of stock brokers who can provide you with this sort of service. Others include Killik & Co and Charles Stanley.

I'm afraid it's not going to be cheap - those Medallion Stamp machines don't grow on trees over here
