Re: What happens when a trader dies?
It can be very tricky. My mother had passed away in June, and just recently were all of her stocks transferred out of her name into mine and my sisters, and eventually transferred into other assets. A lot of work with accountants and lawyers before hand definitely made it easier, as my grandmothers' accounts took much longer to deal with because she had been fussing with it just before she passed.
Definitely talk with your brokerage first, and then an account/lawyer team. I don't know how things get executed, I just know it can be tricky.
