Safeguarding Share Certificates

[Pheo]

Hi All

Hopefully a quick one. My grandmother has some share certificates from a number of FTSE100 companies. Due to a recent "incident" I'm interested in ensuring that these are safe, and cannot be sold without the family being aware.

Given they are literally in a shoebox in the dresser. Whats the best way to safeguard them? Can they be put on file with a broker?

The holding is approx £15000 so not huge, but worth enough to look after!

Thanks kindly, much appreciated.

Any recommendations for a cheap, but decent broker?

Ha, apologies.

I have an account with HL - for my own tiny shareholding (drip feeding into Vantage). Can I use my account? presumably not because I'm not her?

Appreciate your help!
