How will I be paid/sent my entitlement?
Your entitlement will be in the form of a cheque and will be posted to your address. Georgeson makes all payments by cheque.
How long will I have to wait to receive my entitlement?
It generally takes up to six weeks from the time we have validated your entitlement for you to receive your cheque.
Can the cheque be paid in a different name/to another person?
Unfortunately we are unable to do this. We can only make the cheque payable to a different person when the claimant is deceased. In these cases the cheque will be made payable to the executors of the estate.
I do not have a bank account to cash the cheque. Is there any other way I can be paid my entitlement?
Payments can only be made by cheque.
Can you pay the entitlement via a bank transfer directly into my bank account?
Your entitlement can only be paid in the form of a cheque which will be posted to your address.
Should I declare this money for tax implications?
If you are unsure of what action to take, you should seek independent financial advice.
I haven’t received my cheque. What should I do?
It generally takes up to six weeks from the time we have validated your entitlement, to when you will receive your cheque. If you haven’t received your cheque after this time, please contact us.
