A friend of mine is worried her (I guess they are blank certificates?) from her old job could have been stolen from her house. She does not know, and neither do I, how stocks are given, transferred, or if they are even given out in some kind of blank ownership form where whatever person holds the literal paper they are on is the owner legally. Can anyone point us in the right direction for understanding stocks?
I doubt she was ever given the stock certificates, if that is truly what you are talking about. Her company has a broker that keeps the stock certificates for you and you can transfer them easily. She would just need to check a 401K statement or work with her company to find out who the broker is. Which ever broker she wishes to transfer her stocks to should do most of the leg work for you, she will just need to fill out a form or two. The stocks would need to have an owner attached to them for tax purposes, so they would not just be blank. Good luck.
