Construction Attorney at M. Hedayat & Associates, P.C.Legal Guard LawyerIf a contractor improved your property by performing work, they are entitled to payment under the law. That said, there are a number of factors that must

Construction Attorney at M. Hedayat & Associates, P.C.Legal Guard LawyerA custom-window supplier is considered a "materialman" under the Illinois Mechanics Lien Act (the "Act") and therefore has full lien rights. How you enforce
those rights depends on whether you contracted directly with the owner of the project (in which case you are treated as a GC) or with another contractor (in
which case you are treated as a subcontractor). To perfect your lien rights, you must observe these dates: 4-Month Notice: If you contracted withSee More...

Construction Attorney at M. Hedayat & Associates, P.C.Legal Guard LawyerYou appear to ask is whether a Sworn Statement should be used to collect the Retainage. If that is the question, then the answer is "Yes." I suspect there must

comfortable giving one is up to you. Should you need to dispute the validity of a Waiver, remember that Lien Waivers are contractual in nature. Like a

Construction Attorney at M. Hedayat & Associates, P.C.Legal Guard LawyerYou ask how to proceed if you suspect that a delinquent customer is deceased. The Short Answer is that you should confirm whether a Probate Estate has
been opened. If none can be found, or in the meantime, your Lien will continue to be in effect. If you are not contacted by the time your 2-year deadline is
