Missing Joint Tenant

trishinvegas · 10-13-2006, 03:54 PM

I hold stock in JT with ex-husband. We agreed this was my stock (my employer) but never got around to getting him signed off as it didn't seem important at the time. It has been 6 years now and the dividends are reported under my social. I attempted to contact him but he moved. I have no phone, no email addy, no physical addy, no employer. I tried thru Intelius to find him and they could only dig up info from 3 years ago which is what I had provided them. How can I get him off this stock?? I'd like to liquidate but can't even do my portion since he's on it. Thanks.

You can get a court order removing him if need be, and you cannot locate him.

I hate to sound stupid but is this something I should retain an attorney for or find the forms and try to do it myself? If I need an attorney, what field of practice should I look for...business or family law? Thanks too for your response - it's greatly appreciated.

A business lawyer will usually best handle it. Try to get a fixed fee for a reasonable amount if possible.
