Spanish term
provocar la colocación de sellos sobre los bienes y valores de la compañía
Specifically, I'm having trouble with this part: "provocar la colocación de sellos sobre los bienes y valores de la compañía"
Sounds like they are talking about putting a claim on the company assests. -- Could you please help? --
Million thanks in advance.

sellos = seal off
I think that the document intends to maintain everybody out of the company's direction and control except for the shareholders. So the document intends to ward off the heirs of a deceased shareholder and does not allow them to take preemptive measures such as sealing off an asset of the company (like a building or office, etc.).

Discussion
And I think in this context it is stating that "no heirs, successors or creditors of a shareholder can 'lay claim' to any of the company's property or assets..." [and by stating 'lay claim', it is implicit that, if challenged, it will have to be carried out legally]
I am not sure of the correct expression
