Who is the grantor?

• A. The guardian
• B. The creator of a lifetime trust
• C. An incapacitated person
• D. A legal life tenant

Answer: (B)

The grantor is the person who creates and funds a trust. In a lifetime (inter vivos) trust, the grantor is the creator who establishes the trust terms and transfers assets into it, often also serving as the initial source of control or ownership of those assets. This is why the creator of a lifetime trust is the correct choice.

Think about the others: a guardian is appointed to protect or manage someone else’s affairs, not to found a trust; an incapacitated person generally cannot validly create a trust; a legal life tenant holds a life estate in property, not a trust creator.
