I would like to seek your guidance on a problem my uncle is facing.

The facts are: My uncle had purchased a number of shares of a particular company and he died 12 years back leaving no will. He has one son and his wife is still alive.

How can those shares be transferred to his son's name? What is the procedure to be followed? The family is aware of the number of shares they are having and also have the folio number but the share certificates have been lost.

So how can those shares be transferred to his son's name ? Please advise.
