Re: Stock Transfer
When someone passes away and leaves assets such as accounts in their name only, home in their name only or in your case stock and power to trade in their name only then the estate must pass through probate. You will need the original will (if any) and death certificate to get started. Probate must be processed in the State and County were the decedent was domiciled. Good Luck.
