So like a 2 of 3, multisig, whereby the lender has 2 keys and you have one?
Yes and No.
Multisig is not the safe option it is thought to be.
To recreate a multisig wallet you need the XPUB of all 3 keys, if one of the parties looses their keys and doesn't have the XPUB backed up and the original wallet is lost, there is no way to recreate this wallet and the funds are lost for ever.
