What is the difference between a Trustee and a Trustor of property?

to get a basic concept between the difference of these two, there are basically three basic individuals involved in a trust. The trustor, the Trustee, and the beneficiary. The easiest way to understand this is by illustration.

Trustor-------------------->Trustee----------------------->Beneficiary

gives $ or property manages $ or property receives $ or use of property

As an example, Anne (trustor or donor) wants to give $100,000 to her daughter Marie (the beneficiary), but does not want her to have access all of the money at once. Therefore, she gives the money to Hillary (the trustee) and tells her to only pay her daughter Marie 10,000 per year, over the next ten years.

Now there would of course be other variables within this example such as management fees the trustor would charge, as well as accrued interest since the money would be held in a trust fund, but I'm trying to give a simple answer to a simple question.
