Description

If the minerals have been severed from the surface of lands, with the mineral estate, in many states, being the dominate estate, the mineral owner has the right to make use of as much of the surface as is reasonably necessary to develop those minerals. If the minerals have been leased, and the surface owner desires the lessee not to enter on specific lands, the surface owner may obtain a subordination from the mineral lessee to that effect. This form addresses that situation. New Jersey Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate refers to a legal agreement between a lessee (tenant) and the lessor (landowner) in which the lessee agrees to subordinate their right to use the surface estate to another party. This agreement is commonly used in situations where the lessor wants to grant another party, such as a mortgage lender or a third-party developer, the right to use part or all of the surface estate for a different purpose. The lessee's rights to the surface estate are temporarily placed in a secondary position until the subordination arrangement is resolved. There are different types of subordination agreements in New Jersey that may apply specifically to the right to use all or part of the surface estate: 1. Subordination of Leasehold Interest: This type of subordination occurs when a lessee agrees to subordinate his or her leasehold interest in the surface estate to a mortgage or lien held by another party. This means that if the lessor defaults on their mortgage or lien obligations, the lessee may have to give up their rights to the surface estate to allow the mortgage or lien holder to take possession. 2. Subordination for Development Purposes: In situations where the lessor wishes to develop part or all of the surface estate or allow a third-party developer to do so, the lessee may be required to subordinate their right to use the land for the development project. This type of subordination ensures that the development plans can proceed smoothly without any conflicts between the lessee's interest and the development plans. 3. Subordination for Borrowing Purposes: In some cases, the lessor may seek additional financing by using the surface estate as collateral for a loan. If this occurs, the lessee may have to subordinate their right to use the land to the lender's rights. In case of default on the loan, the lender will have priority over the lessee's interests on the surface estate. New Jersey Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate is a critical legal document that allows for the proper ordering of interests in land. It safeguards the interests of the parties involved and ensures smooth transactions, whether it be for development purposes or financial obligations. As with any legal agreement, it is recommended to seek advice from a qualified real estate attorney to draft and review the subordination agreement to ensure compliance with New Jersey state laws and protect the rights of all parties involved.
