If the sole shareholder or one of the joint shareholders has died, the death will need to be formally registered before the Postal Share Dealing service can be used to sell the shares. This can be done at the same time as submitting the Postal Share Dealing Form, with a fee of £50 being deducted from the sale proceeds. Full details can be found in the ‘Essential Information' section of the Postal Share Dealing Form. This additional charge can be avoided if you formally register the death before submitting your sale instruction.
