My father and his friend hold 100 shares of a company listed on the national stock exchange. My father is the second holder and his friend is the first holder.
My fathers friend expired in 1992 and his family has migrated abroad. Recently we requested the share registrars to transfer the 100 shares to my fathers name but they are requesting the death certificate of my fathers friend. We do not know the whereabouts of his family and so cannot provide any death certificate.
I am seeking learned advise as to how to get the shares transferred to my fathers name
