<prompt> Human: Long story short, my grandparents gifted me 13 shares of Disney stock and 5 shares of Microsoft when I was a kid. They had to be put in my fathers name; and now though I am an adult, I still get dividend checks that show Patfights dad cust. PatFightMy questions are, how should I go about selling them? As I understand, stocks are mostly sold in 100 share blocks. Will it be an issue for me that I have a small number of shares? Also, will I need my father to assistsign off being that he is still named on the statements as well? Thanks in advance for anyones helpadvice.Assistant: 100 share blocks are irrelevant. Typically they are traded in blocks however a trade can contain any number of shares.Normally Id say that your biggest issue would be determining the cost basis the price originally paid of the shares however if dividends were not reinvested you might have dodged that headache. If you got the shares say 20 years ago and every quarter reinvested the dividends, youd have 80 different cost basis-es to try and calculate and sum. I was in your shoes as an adult with stock with a custodian a few years ago. If I remember correctly your choices are to convert the stock into solely your name you shouldnt need his signature and then sell it, or you can just sell it without transferring it which you will need his signature. If you are on good terms with your dad, the second method would be faster.Human: I honestly dont even think Ive ever so much as deposited dividend checks. They were always so small that I just let them fall by the wayside. The two stocks are Disney and Microsoft. I received 13 Disney at 28 per share and 5 Microsoft at 35 per share.  <response>: At least donate them or have it set up for electronic deposit. Pennies turn into dollars.
