My dad invested in both AIB and PTSB in the heady days, and when he died in 2011, the shares were divided amongst his 4 kids. The shares had been ravaged over the years and various consolidations and restructerings since then have rendered them basically valueless.
I've got 4 ordinary shares in AIB (worth about e2.40 if my calculations are correct) yielding a dividend this year of 30c and 2 PTSB shares (worth e1) giving a negligible dividend. I've not even been cashing the AIB dividend cheques as it's not worth the trip to the bank.
I have no interest in maintaining the accounts, so I've got 2 choices, sell them or give them away. I think the amount and value renders the first option a bit pointless. AIB sent me a letter about Share Gift (I assume because of the number of shares I own), and this looks like my best option. I guess I'm just here for some confirmation bias, but are there any other options to be entertained? Or ways to give away shares other than Share Gift?
