A Pennsylvania Subordination of Vendor's Lien Retained by Granter in Warranty Deed is a legal document that is used in real estate transactions to address the issue of liens on a property. This document establishes the priority of liens and ensures that the rights of both the granter and the grantee are protected. In Pennsylvania, there are two primary types of Subordination of Vendor's Lien Retained by Granter in Warranty Deed: Voluntary and Involuntary. 1. Voluntary Subordination: This type of subordination occurs when the granter willingly agrees to subordinate their vendor's lien to other liens on the property. This can happen when the grantee has obtained additional financing or when there are existing liens that take priority over the vendor's lien. By voluntarily subordinating their lien, the granter agrees to allow these other liens to take priority over theirs. 2. Involuntary Subordination: In this case, the subordination of the vendor's lien is not voluntary and is typically required by law. It may be necessary when the grantee needs to obtain financing or clear other liens on the property. Involuntary subordination may also be required if a court order or judgment places another lien on the property that takes priority over the vendor's lien.
