Why A junior lien to remain subordinate to a new senior lien replacing the original Is Correct

Answer A: A junior lien to remain subordinate to a new senior lien replacing the original

A subordination agreement allows a junior lienholder to agree to remain in a subordinate position to a new first lien, often used in refinancing when the property has a junior lien (like a seller carryback) that would otherwise become first in priority.

Exam Tip: Escrow & Title

Escrow questions test the neutral third-party role and the sequence of closing events. Remember that the escrow agent acts as a dual agent for both buyer and seller and cannot advocate for either side.
