I worked for Willis for a period of time and accrued some shares via Sharesave. The value isn't massive (just into four figures), but I would like to cash them in and have no idea how to do this.

They are just sitting there (on a Computershare account I believe) and I don't have the first idea about tax etc and just want shot. I've even received a small dividend cheque (less than 10 dollars) but being in USD, I cannot cash it.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm all for a wife transfer as long as I can control the process...

I understood that the tax was more an implication in the US. In case you're not picking up on this, I am no expert when it comes to foreign shares. I just want rid of them but cannot quite figure the easiest/best process. The shares are held electronically - that's about as much as I understand.
