Whether you’re preparing for the future, planning succession, or simply introducing your kids to the world of investing, this guide shows you how to do it legally, safely, and confidently. You’ll learn exactly what shares are and why many parents choose to transfer them, from building long-term wealth to passing down ownership. Ian walks you through every stage, including valuing your shares, drafting a transfer agreement, completing the Stock Transfer Form (J10 or J30), and notifying the registrar once the process is complete. We’ll also cover important tax considerations, such as Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax, while explaining how these rules differ across England, Wales, and Scotland.
