A POA becomes not effective upon death. I would suggest that you handle this matter yourself since it only involves $220 - which is likely more than a lawyer would charge. You can either contact the transfer agent directly and ask for papers to change the title on the stock or liquidate, etc. or you can open a voluntary administration (cost is $1.00) and submit the voluntary letters with a request in writing. In any event, I would contact the transfer agent.
