Hi There,
I have a question regarding a share portfolio..made up of shares in british and irish companies valued at approx 75,000 euro. My mother inherited this portfolio when my dad died. He had inherited it from a sister who passed 2 years previous. My parents had little savings and no investments before this and hadnt the first clue what to do with these shares. In all honesty, since my dad died, since we have no share experience ourselves, these shares have just been left sitting with minimum monitoring from us and we arent willing to risk mam's future on this. There has been a slight drop in almost all of the share prices and we feel the best thing is to cash them in and put the money into an account with a guaranteed return so my mother is a little more sure of her investment. It's all she has and with the market a bit jittery right now we just want to do whats best for her in the long run.
She is happy to go along with whatever we think is the best way to go.
My question is, what is the easiest way for us to sell the shares? We have the actual share certificates. There are 11 companies involved in total and the share amounts range from 75 euro to 26,000 euro.
Any advice you can give would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Jen.
