The Gazette of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland
[November, 1940
operative Societies to transfer their shares
in accordance with the Rules of the Societies
when disposing of their farms such shares
could not be transferred to new owners on the
deaths of the shareholders in the absence
of
legal personal representatives of such
shareholders.
It frequently transpired that on the death
of a farmer, who had transferred his farm
in his lifetime, that his only assets were the
few shares in the local Creamery and as the
expense of extracting administration was
generally out of proportion to the value of
the shares no steps were
taken
to raise
representation to his estate with the result
that such shares could not be legally trans–
ferred to a new owner.
The I.A.O.S. have suggested that solicitors,
particularly those practising in the country,
might
favourably
consider drawing
the
attention of their clients to this matter when
farms are being transferred, and thus assist
the Committees of Co-operative Societies
in keeping the share registers up-to-date.
The Council were of opinion
that the
suggestion of the I.A.O.S. is worthy of the
consideration of all practising solicitors.
