You can contact the state that your certificate was incorporated in, each state has a department that handles such things. This site has each state's department contact information listed

www.secstates.com

Databases/directories of corporate changes can also be useful in determining the value of your shares. Reasonably priced databases and those available to the public that is. Most local business libraries could help you out.The next step is then to contact either the transfer agent (found on the stock certificate) just Google the name and you should have a number to call. They will have all information as to what happened to the company, if anything was left for investors etc.. if by any chance the companies transfer agent has also gone by the wind.

The state will be able to determine for you when the companies charter was cancelled although will not be able to tell you if any dividends or other capital payments were left for investors.

In all I would go with professional help, a broker or other financial advisor can help.Or can visit an online researchers like stockcertexpert.com they are the cheapest and are the best value. They deliver an amazing report of the value of your certificates

My mother recently discovered a stock certificate that is listed in my deceased fathers name We found the value and are interested in selling the stock How does one go about selling it?

If your mother and father were married at the time of his death, I believe she can take the stock certificate (along with the death certificate & will) to a brokerage, like Charles Schwab. You would have to fill out forms authorizing the transaction and pay a commission for the sale. To find a branch in your area and get more information about Schwab's requirements, see the related links.
