How to sell stocks that belonged to someone who is deceased?

Bob Baker asked:


I recently found evidence of a deceased relative’s investment in specific stocks. Looking through the vast amounts of papers, it didn’t appear that any of them were sold. I am the heir of the estate. I have absolutely no idea who to contact about this. The relative has been deceased for a year. If the stock’s still exist, I am the rightful owner, but need to transfer ownership. Any help on this would be great. Thanks.
