Check whether he was sole holder or joint holder. If joint holder, who was the 2nd owner of shares with him.

Check whether your father had mentioned the name of some nominee.

The joint owner or nominee needs to give an application (alongwith your father's death certificate) to the Company (or Share Registrar of the company, if any) to transfer the shares to his/her name.

If the case is not covered under above, then you/your mother will have to apply to court for grant of succession certificate in respect of assets of your father. On the basis of this certificate, you can write to the company to transfer the shares in your / your mother name.
