You should not allow your broker to sell the securities and send us a check. If the broker does this, the tax advantages of making the gift may be eliminated. In a separate envelope, please send one endorsed Stock Power Form per certificate to the above address. You will need to guarantee the signature on the stock power form. This is different from having a document notarized.
Most banks provide a signature guarantee service.
You do not need to include any other information on the form. The stock certificates will not be negotiable until we have received both envelopes. The gift date will be established from the later postmark of the two envelopes. The value will be the mean of the high and the low trades on the gift date. Use of our site constitutes acceptance of our Terms of Use .
