Yes. Today, anyone who owns their land by virtue of a warranty deed is the legal owner of that land. A past patent holder extinguished their interest by conveying any portion by a deed.
Land patents were typically huge tracts of land that were subdivided into smaller parcels as they were conveyed out from the original tract. An owner by deed is the legal owner of the property. All the deeds forward from the original patent comprise the title to the property.
A land patent is the highest title to land that was originally acquired within the bounds of the United States by the individual person or private land company named on the patent. Patents were granted by state and federal governments and by sovereigns (especially English sovereigns) before there was a US government. Grantees generally acquired huge tracts of land, sometimes thousands or millions of acres) which they then could subdivide and make a huge profit. Generally that original tract was broken up into smaller parcels, typically by deeds and land grants, and the transfers that followed constitute the title to the various tracts as they were subdivided and conveyed forward to become the residential lots and other tracts we have today.

Land transferred by a deed of trust would have the same liquidity as land transferred by a quitclaim deed or warranty deed. The liquidity of the real property described in th deed would depend on such factors as the equity in the land and the present market.
How do you obtain a land patent?
A "land patent" is another word for deed (or grant) of real estate from a government (e.g., the U.S. federal government) and represents "absolute title" from the sovereign. It is a special form of letters patent, meaning open declaration (as opposed to private correspondence with the government). Land patents are obtained as any other deed for real estate, with the only difference being that the grantor is the "original" owner of the land. Copies are recorded in the same manner as deeds, and older ones (such as carving states out of the Louisiana Purchase) can be found in the archives.

You need to consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who can review the details and explain your options.
