Paper shares of a demised relative Paper shares of a demised relative

My grandmother passed away a few years back and we have found some paper shares in her name. We had been wanting to transfer these since the time she was around but couldn't find success. What's the procedure now? Can someone help? We have no ownership conflicts over this

A.Dear client,
Before initiating the process for transfer of shares you should also check if there is any change in the legal status of the company i.e. has it been acquired/merged with any other company or is the name of the company same or it has changed or any other change.

The following documents are also required to be submitted along with the application for change of name:-

Physical Share Certificates
Death Certificate of the Deceased
PAN Card of the Successor
Transmission Request Form
Attested Signatures by Banker of the Successor
Proof of Address of the Successor
Any other document as required by the Company

A.Dear Client,
In case of death of the sole holder, the legal heir(s) or legal representative(s) of the deceased must request the DP (Depository Participants, i.e, Share Broker) to transmit the balances lying in the Client account of the deceased to the account of the legal heir(s) or legal representative(s). For this, the legal heir (s) or the legal representative(s) of such securities must submit an instruction called the transmission form to the DP along with the following documents: 1) A copy of the death certificate duly notarised, 2) A copy of the Succession certificate duly notarised or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction where the deceased has not left a Will; or 3) A copy of the Probate or Letter of Administration duly notarized.
However, if the legal heir(s) or the legal representative(s) express inability to produce either of the documents mentioned under (b) and (c) above, and the market value of the securities held in each account of the deceased as on the date of application for transmission does not exceed Rs. one lakh, then the DP will process the transmission request on the basis of the following documents: 1) Transmission form; 2) Copy of the death certificate duly notarised; 3) Letter of Indemnity Bond duly supported by a guarantee of an independent Surety acceptable to the DP, made on appropriate non judicial stamp paper; 4) An Affidavit made on appropriate non judicial stamp paper; and5) No Objection Certificate(s) from all the legal heir(s) who do not object to such transmission. The DP will ensure that the documents submitted by the legal heir(s) or the legal representative(s) are in order and will then effect a transfer of the balances to the Client account of the legal heir(s) or the legal representative(s). After effecting the transmission, the DP will close the account of the deceased.
