The Transfer of Shares is a critical process in the lifecycle of a company. It involves the handover of ownership from one individual or entity to another. This procedure can be voluntary, such as when a shareholder decides to sell their shares, or involuntary, such as through inheritance.
When executing a Transfer of Shares, it is essential to adhere to the company’s articles of association and any shareholder agreements. This ensures that the transfer is legally binding and recognized by the company. The process typically requires a stock transfer form, signed by both the transferor and the transferee, and may also involve paying stamp duty if the shares exceed a certain value.
