My mum sadly passed away and in her Will she gave me some shares. I've managed to transfer the shares into my name and received the certificates today. I would like to transfer some of the shares to a member of my family. Do I have keep the shares for a certain period or can I transfer them now?
Thanks in advance.

    Cant see why there would be a minimum holding period once the shares are in your own name.
