Similar to the above's questioning, if I have a bunch of shares in my mothers name (bought back when I was under 18 and couldn't get a share account) how do I transfer the shares to my name? Will I have to pay CGT on the gains I have or will they rollover to me because they aren't really "sold" (similar to giving a property to a relative I guess??). Bit worried because I've been investing since I was 12 through my mother, and now it's a sizable sum (mostly due to good luck I'd say), and I don't want to pay CGT on all my profits, but I'd want it in my name because my mum pays the highest tax level. Any help would be appreciated.
