Transferring Shares

Options
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.
