How to sell shares? First time in the market?

Question

Im 17, my father, who wants me to learn how to sell them myself just gave me a few shares that he bought in the stoneage. I can get the signatures if needed.

I have an official statement saying the reference number and all the details, and the company still exists. How should I do this? I don't live in the US or UK if thats a factor.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I assume you have paper certificates.

Either way, open an account with a brokerage, and they should be able to help you. Brokerages charge different fees to deal with certificates. You might want to take that into consideration when choosing a brokerage.

Contact the brokerage before you open the account to ask about costs and how not being in the U.S. or U.K. is a factor. Your age might also be a factor. In the U.S. people under 18 typically have to open custodial accounts, but maybe your country doesn't have such silly and detrimental rules.

Answer 2

just open a demate account in your fathers name and then you can sell the shares and transfer the amount in your fathers account...
