The property or proceeds from its sale must be used to satisfy the debt to the creditor holding the lien before it can be used to satisfy debts to other creditors. A lien may arise from agreement between then parties or as a result of court proceedings. There are creditors who have a priority interest established by statute. For example, debts owed to the Federal Government have a priority interest and must be paid before other debts.
