RS 10:9-325: Priority of security interests in transferred collateral

(a) Subordination of security interest in transferred collateral. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (b), a security interest created by a debtor is subordinate to a security interest in the same collateral created by another person, if:

(1) the debtor acquired the collateral subject to the security interest created by the other person;

(2) the security interest created by the other person was perfected when the debtor acquired the collateral; and

(3) there is no period thereafter when the security interest is unperfected.

(b) Limitation of Subsection (a) subordination. Subsection (a) subordinates a security interest only if the security interest otherwise would have priority solely under R.S. 10:9-322(a) or 9-324.
