Share transfer on death of spouse
2 Answers
I am Executor,Trustee and sole beneficiary of my late wife's estate. Having filled in all the necessary forms with Compushare Registrar paid their fee and provided copies of the relative pages of her will which show my status as above they now demand a legally certified copy of her entire will signed and stamped on every page by a solicitor (at my expense) before they will transfer her shares to me, her spouse. They state that they are required by law and are legally entitled to this. Surely this is not correct? The number of shares is a minute 200!!

You are not required to use a solicitor for these procedures once the Grant of Probate has been completed as that certificate gives you the authority in law to transfer the shares in accordance with her will.
