Consequences of the Death of a Shareholder: What You Need to Know

As a shareholder in a company, it is important to consider what will happen to your shares upon your death. In the absence of a shareholders agreement, the shares will form part of the deceased's estate, potentially leaving the other shareholders in business with the deceased's children and beneficiaries. Moreover, if the deceased does not have a will, the estate will be held in probate, a court process that can take months. This can leave the company in limbo, particularly if the shareholder was a director of the firm. In this article, we will outline the consequences of the death of a shareholder and explain how a shareholders agreement can provide protection in such scenarios.

Meta: Facebook owner fined €1.2bn for mishandling data

It’s no news that Facebook’s owner, Meta, have been fined a record €1.2bn (£1bn) by the European Union (EU) for privacy violations, which has been deemed unlawful by the EU courts. Helen Dixon, Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) which regulates Meta across the EU, imposed the hefty fine which is a breach of the bloc’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), making this the largest GDPR-related fine to date. The DPC continued that Meta has breached part of the European GDPR rules in the way that it had transferred personal data of Facebook users from the EU to the United States (US). In addition to their fine, Meta have been ordered to suspend the transfer of user data from the EU to the US. Although this transfer is not immediate, Meta have been given 5 months to implement it and comply with the Irish DPC’s verdict, meaning Facebook users will not immediately see their service disrupted between the US and EU. Meta have also been given 6 months to stop “the unlawful processing, including storage, in the US” of personal EU data already transferred across the Atlantic, meaning that user data will need to be removed from Facebook servers. The tech giant has been ordered by the DPC to stop storing personal data of EU Facebook users. The result of the fine has stemmed from Edward Snowden in 2013 when the National Security Agency (NSA) whistle-blower revealed that US authorities were surveilling systems run by several US companies. Companies had been allowed to transfer EU customer’s data to the US to help them run their business, but only on the basis that they were protecting this data as well as if it was being stored in the EU. However, the Snowden revelations put a question mark over the whole system.
