Both a deed of trust and a promissory note might outline similar information, but they are separate documents that are signed for the benefit of different parties. In a deed of trust, there are three parties involved: the lender, the borrower, and the third-party trustee.

A deed of trust will include the same type of information stated in a mortgage document, such as: The identities of the borrower, lender, and trustee. A full description of the property to be placed in trust. Any restrictions or requirements on the use of the property while it is in trust.
An assignment in a deed of trust is a legal transfer of the lender's interest in the security instrument (the deed of trust) to a new party (the assignee). The assignor (current lender) transfers all rights, title, and interest in the deed of trust to the assignee, who becomes the new lender of record.
Under a Deed of Assignment only the benefits of a contract can be assigned and not the burden; thus if you want to transfer the burden of a contract as well as the benefits under it, then you have to use a Novation Agreement or a Deed of Novation as novation transfers both the benefits and the burden under a contract.
