Dh and his brother inherited some shares from their Dad years ago. They are in joint names which is causing problems...

[HJwantstosleep]

They are actually in the 'executer of FIL will' names( dh & brother then named)

Bil receives the dividends in a cheque and then forwards the cheque to dh who used to be able to bank them into his own account. Our bank now well 2 years agobut dh hasnt done snything about this won't accept them as its not a joint account with BIL.

BIL lives 200miles away but is out of the country a lot so setting up a joint account isn't an option.

I have just found a pile of cheques for £600 altogether which we could do with.

What can dh do with me nagging to resolve this.

They'll have to arrange to get together and set up a joint account - preferably one that can be accessed online. Once it's set up, it doesn't matter where they live really.

Is it possible to split shares ?

Who holds the share certificate? According to Shareview here it is possible to transfer ownership using a Stock Transfer Form if you have the share certificate. However, I can't work out if you have to be a Shareview/Equitini customers or if anyone can do it. Plus it would need both signatures if they jointly own the shares.

Think BIL must as I've not seen it. Plus he receives the divi cheques.
Will encourage dh to talk to him soon
