CHANGE OF ADDRESS: Only a shareholder or their custodian can change his or her address. Kavilco cannot accept address changes by relatives or friends of the shareholder. For the protection of the shareholder, we encourage shareholders to complete the Change of Address Form, which must include a valid signature. To change your address, Kavilco must have your name as it appears on Kavilco's shareholder records and your Social Security number.
|
| CHANGE OF CUSTODIAN: Kavilco cannot arbitrarily change a minor's custodian of record. Kavilco must have either a divorce decree awarding custody or a resignation from the custodian.
If a custodian voluntarily resigns, he or she must sign a Resignation of Custodian form in the presence of a Notary Public and return the form to Kavilco. If a new custodian is appointed, the new custodian must sign the Appointment of Custodian affidavit. Once the proper documents to change a custodian have been received, a new stock certificate will be prepared sent to the new custodian.
If shares are being transferred by court order (dissolution of marriage, divorce decree) and the court order does not identify the custodian of the stock, the transferor of the stock will be named as the custodian until the minor reaches the age of 18.
|
| CHANGE OF NAME: If a shareholder’s name has changed due to marriage, divorce, adoption, etc., he/she must complete an Affidavit of Name Change, which must be signed in the presence of a Notary Public and returned to Kavilco.
The affidavit must include a copy of the marriage certificate, adoption or divorce decree stating that the shareholder’s name has been legally changed.
When Kavilco receives the properly completed Name Change affidavit and documents, a new stock certificate will be prepared.
|
| DIRECT DEPOSIT: We encourage our shareholders to sign up for Direct Deposit to receive dividends faster and safer. There is no cost to sign up for Direct Deposit. You can cancel your Direct Deposit at any time using our Cancel Direct Deposit form.
|
| DIVORCE: If shares are being transferred by court order (dissolution of marriage, divorce decree) the shareholder must properly complete an Affidavit for Transfer of Kavilco Stock Relative to Divorce. The affidavit must also include a certified copy of the divorce decree, old stock certificate(s), Appointment of Custodian agreement (if applicable), and Native Status affidavit(s). If the court order does not identify the custodian of the stock, the transferer of the stock will be named as the custodian until the minor reaches the age of 18.
|
ESTATE SETTLEMENT: In order to transfer the shares of a deceased shareholder to another, Kavilco must have the following:
- Certified copy of the death certificate.
- Affidavit for Transfer of Kavilco Stock According to Will; OR
- Affidavit for Transfer of Stock with Executed Stock Clause (back of stock certificate); OR
- Properly completed Testamentary Disposition form.
- If there is no will or completed testamentary disposition form, then Kavilco requires a properly completed Affidavit for Transfer of Stock (Intestate Succession). For Alaska residents, the shares will be transferred according to the Alaska Statutes on Intestate Succession. However, if the decedent resided outside of Alaska, you will need to consult an attorney to determine Intestate Succession laws for that state or country.
- Once Kavilco receives all the necessary documentation, stock certificates will be prepared, and any funds accrued to the decedent’s previous stock certificate will be divided among the heirs accordingly.

ANCSA permits shareholders to gift any number of shares to a child, grandchild, niece, nephew, brother or sister.
