Standard life shares


Hi,

I’m hoping you can help. At Christmas my husband found out he had shares he didn’t even realise he had. He has reading and writing difficulties and when any letter come he just thought they were about his pension and he never opened them just put them in the drawer. 

At Christmas he got a man to come out to discuss his pension as he never heard anything and thought that when he set it up he wanted to retire at 55 and they would contact him but nobody did. The advisor mentioned he had shares and asked how he got them and he said he could remember someone coming out to their company years ago but didn’t fully understand. 

We have since learned that he had until 2016 to claim. He also never received any dividends either but I think was entitled to these. Is there anything at all we can do to get these shares back please? As you can imagine he’s a little deflated with the whole situation.

Any help or information would be greatly appreciated - even if it’s a solid no, 

 - thank you
