Seller financing w/ Deed of Trust

[Tim Jones]

Hi Everyone,

I am selling a property via promissory note secured by deed of trust. At the present time I would like to sell directly w/o a title company. The seller is to wire 50% of purchase price ($40k) to my bank and sign the paperwork to finance the rest. My question is this:

 Can/Should I list myself as the Trustee as well as the beneficiary (lender) on the Deed of Trust?

Thank you!
