Land and probate proceedings aren't the only things worth checking after your ancestors. If a deceased relative once owned shares from the voucher privatization program or other securities, they may be recorded at the Central Securities Depository (CDCP) — and the family often has no idea.
The Central Securities Depository keeps records of book-entry securities. Especially common are so-called unassigned accounts — a leftover from the defunct Securities Centre, where shares from the 1990s voucher privatization were registered. There are more than 700,000 such accounts in the Czech Republic.
Log in via BankID at cdcp.cz/mujdepozitar and the system will show directly whether unassigned securities are registered under your name.
This isn't a simple online check — a written request with a notarized signature is required. In practice, a notary usually handles this for the heirs as part of probate proceedings.
Let the notary handling or about to handle the probate proceedings know. The notary will request a detailed statement and include the securities in the estate.
On the main page, switch to the "Securities" tab — you'll find links to both verification paths there.
