WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH TITLE COMPANIES IN MONTANA ASKING US TO REMOVE THE NOTICE OF RIGHT TO LIEN BECAUSE IT IS NOT LETTING THEM CLOSE ON JOBS. WE HAVE NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM UP UNTIL THE LAST FEW MONTHS.
In Montana, if a Notice of Right to Lien has been filed, and the claimant has been paid in full for the labor and/or materials related to the project, then a release of the notice may be filed in the same clerk and recorder's office where the notice was filed.
This notice release is governed by Mont. Code §71-3-538, and should include the following information release should include the recording number of the notice, the date the notice was filed, and the name of the party who recorded the notice.
