Replacing Lost & Stolen Certificates

Looking for a reputable team that can replace lost stock certificates? Legacy Stock Transfer has more than 25 years of experience as a registered transfer agent, giving us leverage in the industry.

Today, there are approximately 50 million paper stock certificates in circulation, and traditional investors have kept these documents in different locations. Whether it was in their personal files or safe deposit boxes, physical certificates are often misplaced or lost.

Reach out to us immediately if your securities certificate is accidentally destroyed, lost, or stolen. We can help you complete an affidavit for a lost stock certificate and request a “stop transfer” to avoid ownership transferred to someone else’s name. Not doing so may cause you to have difficulty in selling the securities.

Remember that your physical stock certificate is considered a financial asset so it’s best to have your paper copy secured.
