Definition: A lien having priority over another lien. Priority can arise from law, recording rules, or an enforceable agreement rather than simply the amount owed.
Example
A Florida real-property tax lien has statutory priority over ordinary competing liens as provided by law.
Keep the distinction clear
Superior is a priority relationship, not a promise that every claim labeled superior defeats every other interest. Review the lien type and applicable priority rules.
