As the first law firm in the UK to offer the full Medallion Signature Guarantee service, you know you’re in safe hands.

The Medallion Signature Guarantee is a statutory requirement when managing the sale or transfer of shares and mutual funds in North America. The Medallion acts to limit the liability and loss by safeguarding against forged signatures. We primarily provide medallion signature guarantees for cases where a shareholder or investor has passed away.

How do you obtain a Medallion Signature Guarantee?

Medallions are not easy to obtain if you are a resident outside of the USA. However, we are the first UK based law firm to become a member of the STAMP programme, authorising us to provide the required stamp to our clients.

Various companies have different names for this stamp, which can cause confusion. The following terms are sometimes used: ‘Medallion Guarantees’, ‘Signature Guarantees’, ‘Barcoded Signature Guarantees’, ‘Barcoded Medallion Guarantees’ and ‘Medallion Stamps’.

As the process depends on the particular shares you hold, we ask that you provide details of your investments so that we can give you the best advice for your situation.

How much does a Medallion Signature Guarantee cost?

We can provide Medallion Signature Guarantees as a stand-alone service for those who are familiar with completing the necessary paperwork to complete a transfer. Where you only require our assistance with stamping papers that you have already completed, the fee starts from £235 plus VAT per shareholding/ securities account. Please contact us directly if you require further pricing.

To book your first initial meeting with our team call us on 01202 786194 or contact us for a free no obligation chat.

Please note that it is not necessary to attend our offices to obtain a stamp, so if you are not local to one of our locations in London, Bournemouth or Southampton, you may use our postal service.
