I wish to have such misfortune too. If you would prefer not to have them I would be a willing recipient.  

Sorry, I couldn't resist replying, but unfortunately I cannot help.

Perhaps you should think what "inheriting" implies ?

OP, in what form have you inherited teh shares? certificates They are with a UK broker? A US one? Do you want the shares or would you rather have the money? Who is dealing with the estate?

And my commiserations.

thanks joe

upon finding out more i feel it will be easier just to let them go as it where, need to get a medalion stamp etc lose money but its not money i had in the 1st place

thanks

so you are really just going to let them go, and not even respond to AnotherJoe?
many of us own US shares as UK nationals, and there shouldn't be anything insurmountable.

Letting them go???

How much are they worth?

£50 I can understand walking away.
£50,000 it's worth jumping through multiple hoops

Medallion stamp is about £280 plus may need a few notarisations, say about £30, so £300 would be nearer the minimum threshold

If you're resuscitating this thread, it would be worth going back and answering the questions you were asked above by @AnotherJoe, which would otherwise need to be repeated....
