applicable to bearer shares under custody<\/strong><\/p><p>Law 47 introduces a positive innovation in the sense that, if the owner of bearer shares under custody has given written instructions to the custodian, establishing who shall receive the shares in ownership in the event of death of the owner, such instructions shall be valid and will have prevalence over any right of succession, either testamentary or intestate. \u00a0Thus, no probate shall be required, as long as the owner has given valid instructions to the custodian regarding disposition of ownership of the shares.<\/p><p>However, if the owner dies without having given instructions for the event of his death, then the relevant succession rules, testamentary or intestate according to the case, will apply.<\/p><p><strong>What will be the legal consequences for bearer shares not deposited with an authorized custodian within the timeframe mandated by Law 47?<\/strong><\/p><p>Simple: the owner will not be able to exercise the voting rights or the economic rights inherent to the shares in question. \u00a0In effect, those bearer shares not in compliance will become
