Does pvt ltd company requires any form for the transmission of shares in case of death o shareholder? and what other procedure need to be complied?
transmission of shares Where title of shares comes to vest in another person by operation of law, it is not necessary to execute and submit transfer deed. A simple application to the company by a legal representative along with the following necessary evidence is sufficient:- 1. Certified copy of death certificate 2. Succession certificate 3. Probate 4. Specimen signature of the successor. However the requirement of these certificate is not essential and depends on various circumstances of the case. Where the succession certificate has been granted in respect of shares, the company can not insist on the production of probate or letter of administration, the certificate affords full indemnity to company.{Thenappa Chettiar v. Indian Overseas Bank Ltd.(1943)}
