"I would like to understand a little more about Deed of Trust which commonly used by property investment group/investor club when buying property.

For example:
5 investors group together to buy 1 property. The S&P of the property then agreed upon to put under one of the investor name for the sake of loan application issue under 1st party charge. Hence, a Deed of Trust was draftef to safeguard the interest of the rest of the investors.
Q1: Is Deed of Trust sufficient to protect the rest of the investors' interest? or could we include additional legal instrument to enhance it?"
