A Washington Subordination Agreement, also known as a Deed of Trust to Storage Agreement, is a legal document that establishes the priority of different liens on a property. It allows a property owner to grant a lien on their property to a storage facility, which then becomes subordinate to any existing deeds of trust or mortgages. In Washington State, there are two common types of Subordination Agreements related to property and storage: 1. Deed of Trust to Storage Agreement: This type of Subordination Agreement is commonly used when a property owner wants to use their property as collateral for a loan or mortgage and also desires to rent a storage unit. By signing this agreement, the property owner acknowledges that the storage facility will have a secondary or subordinate lien on the property, which means that if the property is foreclosed upon, the storage facility's lien will be paid only after the primary liens have been satisfied. 2. Storage Agreement to Deed of Trust: This type of Subordination Agreement is the reverse of the previous scenario. Here, the storage facility owner grants a lien on the storage unit to the lender or mortgagee, making it subordinate to any existing deeds of trust or mortgages on the property. Essentially, this ensures that the storage facility's lien will be paid off only after the primary liens have been satisfied in case of foreclosure or sale of the property. Both types of Subordination Agreements provide a legal framework for determining the priority of liens in relation to the property and storage unit. They are crucial to protect the interests of all parties involved by establishing a clear order of payment if foreclosure or sale occurs. It's essential to consult with a qualified attorney to ensure the proper creation and execution of a Washington Subordination Agreement (Deed of Trust to Storage Agreement). This ensures compliance with Washington State laws and guarantees that the agreement accurately reflects the intentions of the parties involved, creating a solid legal framework to protect the interests of all parties in the event of any future property transactions.
