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.

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 North Carolina deed must be recorded—or registered—to include the deed within the official land records. An unrecorded deed is not binding on third parties, and a deed transferring property as a gift is void if not recorded within two years after signing.
