§ 1310 Subordination Of Obligations

• •You can make one promise less important than another promise you have to keep.
• •If you owe money to two people, you can agree with one of them to wait until the other person is paid first.
• •This doesn't mean the waiting person gets any special rights over your stuff.

You owe money to your friend for a bike and also owe money to the bank for a car. You tell your friend they have to wait to get paid until the bank gets their money first.

Your friend agrees to wait, but this doesn't give them any special rights to your stuff if you can't pay.
