Please contact the Registrars. You will normally have to produce a sealed copy of a grant of probate (Confirmation in Scotland) or Letters of Administration. However, if the value of the total estate is no more that the Inheritance Tax limit and the value of the PartyGaming shares is less than £10,000 then, in certain circumstances, a special small estates procedure may be utilised.

Before a replacement certificate can be issued, you will be sent an indemnity to complete should a dispute arise over ownership at a later stage.

DIVIDENDS

Your dividend can be paid either by cheque or directly into your bank or building society account. If you wish to have dividends paid by direct transfer, the benefits are as follows:

  • Avoids the risk of cheques being lost in the post or mislaid
  • Saves a trip to the bank to pay the cheque
  • Dividend is credited to your account on the payment date so no delay in waiting for cheque to clear.

A tax voucher will be sent directly to your registered address so you know when and how much has been paid into your account.

If you would like your dividends paid in this way, please print out the following form and mail it to the address below:
