FAQ
A subordination agreement acknowledges that one party's claim or interest is superior to that of another party in the event that the borrower's assets must be liquidated to repay the debts.
Subordination clauses in mortgages refer to the portion of your agreement with the mortgage company that says their lien takes precedence over any other liens you may have on your property.The primary lien on a house is usually a mortgage. However, it's also possible to have other liens.
Subordination agreements are prepared by your lender. The process occurs internally if you only have one lender. When your mortgage and home equity line or loan have different lenders, both financial institutions work together to draft the necessary paperwork.
A subordination agreement often comes up when a home has a first and a second mortgage, and the borrower wants to refinance the first mortgage. If you have two mortgages on your home and refinance the first loan, the refinancing lender might require a subordination agreement.
And many lenders charge a fee to review the subordination package, a fee that might run as high as $100. Your lender will probably pass this fee to you.
Subordination is the tenant's agreement that its interest under the lease will be subordinate to that of the lender.Attornment is the tenant's agreement to become the tenant of someone other than the original landlord and who has now taken title to the property.
Resubordination is the process of keeping the first mortgage in first place, ahead of other mortgages. When you refinance your first mortgage, the lender will insist on resubordinating the home equity loan or line of credit. The equity lender isn't required to resubordinate.
A subordination agreement is a legal document that establishes one debt as ranking behind another in priority for collecting repayment from a debtor. The priority of debts can become extremely important when a debtor defaults on payments or declares bankruptcy.
But as property values are going up and the demand for refinance isn't as much, it seems that the subordination process has gotten a little easier. Typically, it takes two to three weeks to get the resubordination paperwork through, and it is likely to set you back $200 to $300.
