My mother has a small number of shares and I have been writing to the registrars of each to redirect the miniscule dividend payments that she receives. Each one requires the Lasting Power of Attorney document but they don't seem to need separate identification like the banks.
I had another time-consuming situation this week when I wrote to Equinti who are registrars for British Telecom. They wrote back saying that I needed to send the original Lasting Power of Attorney document but when I checked I found that this was what I had already sent. It seems that because the document is stamped with "Office Copy" at the top they thought it was a copy so now I've had to send it back again with instructions on how to verify an official document that the Office of the Public Guardian provides.
