Welcome to Robert Cartmell Consulting (now ProTrust Consulting)
WE SPECIALISE IN THREE MAIN AREAS:
We have a dedicated service to cover all aspects of estate planning. The specific services often start with basic Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney. However, expertise and experience is key to ensuring that your basic wishes are protected. Trust advice is essential in most cases. Best service involves a continuing need to review on a regular ongoing basis, at intervals that are set by you. It is not usually just about one Will, it is ensuring that you are kept up to date on the law, tax and trends to give you full peace of mind.
We specialise in the following Estate Planning services:
The majority of professionally prepared family Wills contain trust provisions. The public are increasingly aware of the need to have correct management and administration of them. Trust Registration is required for most trusts by September 2022. Please ensure they are reviewed and action taken. We are here to provide all advice and support to Trustees and Beneficiaries.
We offer the following Trust Administration services:
From advice on the Inheritance Tax process, to assisting with Probate, our experienced team has all the necessary expertise to help you as executors or beneficiaries with the administration process for a Will or Intestacy. We have a fast, smooth and efficient process that reduces the strain for those involved in what can be an essentially sensitive and stressful time.

We are a multi-faceted firm but focused in specialist. We care about the quality of our service. We wish to act for you not just in the one Will or one transaction or matter but for all similar work in future. To that end we want to give our best service so that you will be recommending us to friends/family/contacts for similar work.
An important element of our practice is to work with and alongside our clients’ other trusted chosen firms and advisors in ensuring an overall coverage of professional work. If you require other legal, accountancy or financial services we can direct you to the appropriate experts for that work.
Our focus is always:
To cherish traditional values of care and service
To use a modern approach to ensure speed and cost-effectiveness
To provide solutions to your needs and requirements.
