Supreme Court of South Carolina

ArrowPointe Federal Credit Union v. Jimmy Eugene Bailey

January 11, 2023

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that South Carolina law does not recognize a replacement mortgage doctrine and that ArrowPointe Federal Credit Union’s lien has priority over U.S. Bank’s mortgage under the state’s race‑notice recording statute because the senior lender had record notice of the junior lien at the time of refinancing.
