Maine Lease Subordination Agreement
Overview of this form
A Lease Subordination Agreement is a legal document that allows a lienholder to subordinate their existing mortgage or deed of trust to a mineral, oil, or gas lease. This agreement effectively prioritizes the lease over the lienholderâs claims, allowing the lease to have first priority while maintaining the lienholder's rights to any royalty interests.
