Notify Us Of The Death

Notifying us of the death of the shareholder will stop:

  1. Further correspondence or dividend payments  being sent out
  2. Any share sales or re-investments.

There are different processes depending on whether the shares are solely held in their name or if they are owned jointly with someone else.

You can let us know by email, phone or post.

What you need to tell us

  • The shareholder's full name
  • Their registered address plus any other addresses that could help us identify the shareholding
  • The company name(s) that the shares are held in plus the 11-digit Shareholder Reference Numbers if you have them

Notify us by email

We aim to respond to you within 5 business days.
