“Many people think of trusts as a once-off transaction, but they’re actually living legal structures that require care and maintenance,” says Rouchos. “If you don’t have a clear reason to set one up—and the commitment to maintain it—you may be better off with a different estate planning route.”
Tracy’s advice to all young people facing challenges is to “get involved and reach out”. At university she became a member of the student council, she played sport and found other support available to students. “When you start your studies, throw yourself into the experience.

That’s when the real entrepreneurs rise.
