Purpose of section. By enacting this section, the general assembly extended a senior lienholder's waiver of homestead rights to junior lienholders. Janicek v. Obsideo, LLC, 271 P.3d 1133 (Colo. App. 2011).
A contractual waiver of homestead rights in a deed of trust constitutes a waiver as to all junior lienholders, and any junior lienholder redeeming the property takes it free and clear of any homestead rights. Janicek v. Obsideo, LLC, 271 P.3d 1133 (Colo. App. 2011).
Because homeowners waived their homestead rights in the first deed of trust, any junior lienholder redeeming pursuant to foreclosure of the first deed of trust is entitled to take the property free of any homestead rights. Janicek v. Obsideo, LLC, 271 P.3d 1133 (Colo. App. 2011).
