A Washington Subordination Agreement (WSA) is a legal document used in the state of Washington to transfer the rights of a mortgage from one lender to another. It is also known as a subordination agreement or subordination of mortgage. This agreement assigns priority of interest in the existing mortgage to the new lender, meaning that the new lender has priority to receive payments in the event of a foreclosure. It also includes a clause that states that the new lender cannot seek payment from the borrower until the existing mortgage is paid in full. There are three types of Washington Subordination Agreement: 1) Traditional WSA, 2) Short Form WSA, and 3) FHA/VA Subordination Agreement. Traditional WSA is the most comprehensive and complex form, as it is used to transfer mortgages that are not backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It includes detailed information about the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved in the transfer of the mortgage. Short Form WSA is a simpler version of the Traditional WSA, and is used for mortgages that are backed by the FHA or VA. It is less comprehensive and includes fewer details about the rights and responsibilities of the parties involved. FHA/VA Subordination Agreement is used specifically for mortgages backed by the FHA or VA, and is the most basic form of Washington Subordination Agreement. It only includes the necessary information to transfer the rights of the mortgage and does not include any additional clauses or details.
