Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

When there is a Deed of Trust (without powers) does that make you liable for injuries sustained on said property? The person who made the Deed of Trust lives there. AND does the people mentioned in the Deed of Trust have any control over said property, i.e., who lives there?
