I’m helping my father in law go through old documents. We found a stock certificate for a few shares of a carpet company, Carriage Industries, Inc. he chuckled and said “I have at least 100 more shares but I can’t find the damned papers for it, oh well they are probably worthless.”
I did some digging and Carriage was bought by Shaw Flooring, which was then bought by Berkshire Hathaway. I’m trying to figure out if he can access all those shares or some money for them but the transfer agent on the certificate was bought by a medium bank which was then bought by a large bank which was then bought by Bank of America.
So do I go to Shaw, Berkshire Hathaway, or Bank of America for the info? Also are we screwed out of the value of those other hundred shares if we can’t find the other certificates? All the tutorials I can find are just for a single purchase or transfer, not this game of telephone. Any advice would be appreciated
