What to do if my family owns 1/3rd of a golf course and a meeting will be held regarding it but they can’t attend and want me to vote and pick up their dividends?
What do they need to sign to give me that right and how do I obtain it? Also, we were never given shareholders certificates, it’s a partnership, how do we obtain those?

First of all, you need to check to see if there is proxy voting allowed or voting in some form by you or them through email or telpehone. Otherwise, you may need a power of attorney. But check the bylaws first. Second, as to the shareholders' certificates, you need to check with the president or treasurer to obtain those certificates.
