What to do if you sell shares as part of an Estate
If the sole shareholder or one of the joint shareholders has died, the death will need to be formally confirmed
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 confirm the death before submitting your sale instruction.

service
