Keeping paper shares when I emigrate- yay or nay?

[LadyCroft]

I inherited some old fashioned paper based shares a few years ago. I don't want to sell them all before heading to Australia but the fact they are paper based is causing me a headache as I need a UK address if I ever want to sell some.

 

I have NO idea about shares apart from how to sell a few. I don't know how I would go about transferring them to crest (I have heard this is an option but don't really know what it means) and I am also worried about how to declare my shares in Australia and how I would pay tax on the dividend that is paid each year.

 

Any advice????
