Transfer of shares of deceased persons

Need advice on following:

Parents have passed away intestate.
There are many shares in their name in many companies and also unclaimed dividends for many years.

For certain reasons, one of the heirs is not willing to participate in the procedure for realizing them by Succession Certificate and thereafter by pursuing with respective companies.

What would be the solution for the other heirs to realize the value. It is not intended to deprive any heir of their rightful share.

Can only one heir apply for Succession Certificate including names of all heirs but without one or more heirs signing the application?

Thereafter, on what basis will the companies allow the shares to be encashed and dividends paid?

thank you.



Quick Summary
This discussion seeks advice on how to proceed with transferring shares and claiming unclaimed dividends from parents who passed away intestate. A key issue is that one heir is unwilling to participate in the succession process. The other heirs want to know if they can obtain a succession certificate without the uncooperative heir's signature and how companies will handle the encashment of shares and payment of dividends in such a scenario.
