The handyman who doing some work on my house in Maine (I am a Florida resident). He walked off the job in March after the pandemic was announced. He filed a mechanic's lien against me but I have not received anything else. As I understand it, he has to file an actual lawsuit withing 120 days. I haven't received any notice of a lawsuit but I expect I would have to be served. Can't get any information from the court. I don't know what to do.
If he recorded a lien claim in the Registry of Deeds for the County in which the property is located, then you will want to take action at some point to have that claim discharged of record in the Registry. Otherwise, it could interfere with your efforts to refinance or sell the property, for example.
