Definitions for "Junior Mortgage"
In mortgage financing, a debt secured by a mortgage on real property that is beneath one or more other mortgages in priority, when settling lender's claim in the event of a default by the borrower.
A mortgage which has a lower priority or lien position than a first mortgage. A third or even a fourth mortgage is also classified as a junior mortgage. What establishes a mortgage as being a junior mortgage is that it was recorded after the first mortgage was recorded and thus its lien position is inferior to the first mortgage.
