Iain Wanstall
Following my first career in the army (The Gordon Highlanders), I was a specialist private client solicitor in law firms across Buckinghamshire and the Home Counties for over 20 years.
Having lived in Wendover, Buckinghamshire with my family since the late ‘90’s, I realised a long-time goal of setting up my own Wills & Estate Planning Consultancy, based from my hometown , in early 2020, just before covid. After a very enjoyable few years since founding Wanstall Consulting, I have now entered the next phase of my career and merged with ProTrust Consulting Ltd, working alongside my long-time colleague and friend, Robert Cartmell.
I will continue to operate in the same way as before – same person, same advice, same way of working – just under a different name.
I offer clients friendly, pragmatic and bespoke specialist legal advice and other services. This is mainly in private client matters including Wills; estate, later life, succession and cross generational planning; business succession planning for SME owners; powers of attorney; and estate administration.
My aim is to make the whole legal process of planning for the future as straight forward and user friendly as possible. I see clients at their own homes or businesses, or via videocalls, whatever is most convenient for them and whenever suits them best.
I am a member of The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, a specialist body in this line of work.
I work very closely with other professional advisors such as financial and wealth management advisors, accountants, banks and other solicitors in providing comprehensive advice for clients. I am very keen to develop and further both existing and new professional relationships.
I work closely with both serving and retired military personnel and their families, and also non-military personnel who work on military bases, or with the military.
I have been a Campaign Supporter of Remember a Charity for several years, helping them with one of their Wills Awareness campaigns, giving some talks and writing blogs, as well as being closely involved in their project on ‘charitable giving in wills in the legal profession.
I have also worked with various charities over the years – such as with giving talks, drop-in clinics, articles and Q&As for their websites, and assisting with Wills campaigns and I am keen to develop this further.
If you would like to discuss any matter with me about any of the subjects raised above, or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
