Liens filed without knowledge of any work - or contract verbal or written

AlaskaConstruction ContractMechanics Lien

We had a person that was supposed to purchase our home in Alaska. Unknown to us he supposedly remodeled and made improvements to the property. After he went 12 months without making the payments as he was supposed to we filed a Eviction. In retaliation he filed liens for the work he did against the property. there was no contract, in fact we had no knowledge of work being done until he sent us copies with his answer to the eviction. He has failed to prove he actually did the work as he has denied us access to the home and we want to know how to proceed? He is asking approx 35,000 for work he supposedly did and another 14,000 for capital investment in the property. At this point now he is approx 39,000 in arrears and refuses to leave the house until we pay him for the liens. Can he be made to remove the liens and we are not responsible in any way for payment to him.
