Nov 14, 2018 at 3:42 comment added mckenzm It should not be hard at all, any decent brokerage should be able to wire the money to your account (this is not cheap). They will need the SWIFT codes, your bank should be able to help. If she is a US citizen she may not have had a W8-Ben in place especially if they are in her name (and not "held" by the brokerage). I would be more worried that the brokerage did hold them, and gambled them away and is now stalling.
Jun 11, 2017 at 20:00 comment added timday I've had some similar issues as a UK resident with some shares in a US-listed company (from some employee share scheme) held on JPMorgan's adr.com. I get the dividend cheques fine and can deposit them here, but it seems to be hard to sell the shares and repatriate the proceeds to the UK without jumping through a lot of hoops to open a US bank account (or something like that; it's been a while since I looked into it).
