Foreclosure Law Definitions

Senior Liens

The first lien, or senior lien, against a property is usually the first mortgage or deed of trust recorded when the owner bought the property. Junior liens are typically cleared out a public foreclosure sale, but the purchaser at the sale may be responsible to pay off senior or higher priority liens.
