Hi there,
I have a bunch of 20+ year old physical share certs that I'd like to digitize (~45 certificates belonging to myself and 2 other family members, 15 or so each).
The broker that issued them to us is now out of business.
I'd like to digitize these certs and transfer them to a low-fee broker like Interactive Brokers or Degiro.
Questions:
-What is the cheapest way to digitize my family stock holdings?
-Some of the stocks (i.e. Ryanair) have undergone splits since my original certs were issued. Do I need to contact Link Registrars to re-issue new certs before I'm able to digitize my holdings?
-Ultimately, my goal is to sell some of the non-performing assets and put the money in a US Index Fund / ETF. Is this advisable as an Irish consumer, or will we get destroyed on tax?
Many thanks
