the first thing is simply check on yahoo finance or other quote service. Start by using name search. If company is publically traded a quote /share will be available.
If you can't find it , contact the person or brokerage firm your grand father/mother dealt with in past. They can tell you you if it was merged, bankrupt , etc. and has any value.
If it has value you will need to change it to her name. Each state is somewhat different with respect to what is necessary.
most require the following attached to certificate:
certified copy of death certificate
court appointment (appoints exec of grand fathers estate)
affidavit of domicile
the last two are available at brokerage firm.

First, find out what the name of the stock is. Then find the ticker symbol. You can find the ticker symbol by going to a website like Iwon.com or yahoo finance. You can type the name of the stock in the box where you look the symbols up. Once you found the symbol, check the daily stock reports in any daily newspaper or the internet. If the stock is still there check to see what the share is worth. If the stock is at a point where you want to sell, you can sell the stock or hold onto the stock as long as the company is still in business. Selling stock may cost you a fee. You may need to get a stock broker to sell the stock. Stock brokers charge a commission. I hoped I helped you.

it all depends on the viability of the company the stock is held in......or if the company has been sold off, making it even more important to get an attourney that specializes in stocks and bonds....of course paying for an attourney may be worth more than the stock value if any.......
here is a note when here father passed away, there was an executor of the will, maybe that person has some knowledge of value....
check with the company that the stock is held to....good luck :-)

it would look as in case you have approximately 8000 stocks of the inventory present day fee 40 9 a share.there for the dividends on my own are approximately 2000 1 / 4 i don;t understand how plenty you college loans are yet use the dividends to make own loan funds its painless.additionally once you get the inventory it's going to be at a stepped up foundation so in case you sell top away you will no longer owe capital positive aspects taxes.And yet another situation do no longer enable some planner communicate you in to three cd or mutual fund,abbott is an incredibly secure inventory,and easily so which you already know this is up over 1500 fifteen hundred % in 25 years,if it have been me i might save the inventory and use those dividends for debt alleviation.at an analogous time as the dividends may be reducing debt the inventory might have the flair to extend internet properly worth.and in case you have been incredibly disturbing approximately it taking place plenty call the inventory broker provider and purchase places which will lock on your benefit if the inventory craters.

If the company is still in business it would be valid. If it's been bought out, she might get some shares of the company buying it out. If the company went broke, then the stock would probably be worthless.
You can check at Yahoo Finance to see if they are still in business if they are a listed stock.

The first thing to do is Google the name of the company, or do a symbol search in Yahoo Finance.
If that doesnt bring up any information look up the Secretary of State for the state the company was incorporated in, if you know it. Many states have a database you can search online. It will tell you if the company is in business anymore, if it merged with another company, went private, or was bought out.
If that doesnt work, take it to a broker.

Find out who she invested it with, it should still be hers unless the company went bankrupt or changed something with the distrubution of stocks. If you know what stock it is then you can just check on yahoo finance to see what its worth then go from there...
