Explanation:
This is the legal meaning for the noun that figures in Hachette.

Checked with Duhaime's Law Dictionary:
Settlor - The person who actually creates a trust by donating property to be managed and administered by a trustee but from which all profits would go to a beneficiary. The law books of some countries refer to this person as a "donor."
