Kansas Subordination of Lien, also known as Subordination of Deed of Trust/Mortgage, refers to a legal process that allows a property owner to prioritize the repayment of one mortgage or lien over another. This is typically done when the property owner wants to obtain additional financing or move forward with a specific transaction. In Kansas, there are different types of Subordination of Liens (Deed of Trust/Mortgage) that are recognized. These include: 1. First Lien Subordination: This occurs when a property owner already has an existing mortgage or lien on their property and wishes to obtain additional financing, such as a home equity line of credit (HELOT). By subordinating the first lien, the new lender is granted priority over the existing lien in terms of repayment. 2. Second Lien Subordination: In some cases, a property owner may already have a primary mortgage and an additional lien or mortgage on their property. If the property owner seeks further financing while maintaining the existing subordinate lien, they may choose to subordinate the second lien. This way, the lender providing the new financing gains priority over the second lien. 3. Partial Lien Subordination: Occasionally, a property owner may have multiple liens or mortgages on their property, but only want to subordinate a specific portion of one of these liens. This type of subordination allows the property owner to maintain priority on some parts of their debt while prioritizing others. It is important to mention that Subordination of Liens in Kansas requires the consent and agreement of all parties involved, including the existing lien holder and the new lender. This consent is typically documented through a Subordination Agreement, which outlines the terms and conditions of the subordination. In summary, Kansas Subordination of Lien allows property owners to reorganize the priority of their existing liens or mortgages when seeking additional financing or engaging in specific transactions. By obtaining the consent of all parties involved and documenting the agreements through a Subordination Agreement, property owners can effectively manage their debt and secure the financing they require.
