I bought Disney stock for my children. How can I ensure it is in their names and more importantly, how can I ensure dividend checks are made out in their names and sent to our physical address?

As the title says, I’m currently investing for my children because I want them to learn and understand money and investing from a young age.

A long time ago I read here about a father that had purchased stock certificates in his children’s names back when they still did that. And that he taught his kids about their ownership and showed them the dividend checks in their name. He spoke about how beneficial it had been and I love that!

I know Disney no longer does the physical certificates, but still want to recreate this as closely as possible. I’ve already made investments into Disney with them in mind, can I transfer it to their names? Or do I need to buy it in their names to begin with.

And the part that seems hardest, how can I get the dividend checks made out in their names?

Thanks everyone!
