creditor whose judgment has been made a lien of record and who has complied with
the other conditions of a lienor required by this article may redeem as a lienor.

(2) A mechanic's lien claimant or any other person claiming the right to a
statutory lien on real property shall have the right to redeem as a lienor despite the
fact that the claim has not been reduced to judgment, if the lien or lien claim has
been recorded as required or permitted by statute and the holder thereof has
complied with the other conditions required of a lienor by this article. If another
lienor redeems after such lien claimant, that portion of the redemption amount
attributable to the claim of such lien claimant, as evidenced by such claimant's
recorded lien, shall be held in escrow by the officer until a final judgment has been
entered in favor of such claimant confirming the claimant's right to a lien and all
periods for appeal have expired, whereupon there shall be paid to such claimant
from the escrow the amount of the lien claim as established by the judgment, with
any interest earned thereon, and the balance, if any, shall be refunded to the
borrower, so long as the last redeeming lienor has otherwise been satisfied. If the
claimant releases the lien or fails to establish a right to the lien, the entire escrow
shall be paid to the borrower, so long as the last redeeming lienor has otherwise
been satisfied. Lien claimants of equal priority, for the purposes of this subsection
(2), may act in concert and be deemed to represent one claim in which they share
pro rata. The right of the borrower to excess sale proceeds pursuant to a
homestead exemption under section 38-41-201 is subordinate to the right of a
subsequent deed of trust beneficiary for whose benefit the homestead exemption
was waived.

(3) As used in this section, borrower has the same meaning as set forth in
section 38-38-111 (6).
