I am the property owner and customer trying to protect myself from a roofer who did a horrible job in the dry in phase. I read all your info. online and was perplexed the others online provide for notarization in their forms. So my concern is whether your form is accurate or needing up dating? Have the Florida statutes changed? Thanks Allan Bartley
No, notarization is not required on Florida lien waivers to be valid.
Florida is one of just 12 states that provide statutory lien waiver forms. Although, Florida is the only one to allow parties to agree to use a different form, but no party can be forced to use one not in the statutory form. Additionally, of these 12 states, only 3 require waivers to be notarized; Texas, Mississippi, and Wyoming.
The statutes governing Florida lien waivers can be found under Fla. Stat. §713.20, and makes no mention or requirement for waivers to be notarized in Florida to be valid. I even wrote a brief article on this exact subject a little while back, see: Do Florida Lien Waivers Need to Be Notarized?
The traditional ideal of Japanese women, called yamato nadeshiko, is a beautiful, modest female who is dedicated to her family and responsible for the household. While japanese women still possess a traditional sense of femininity, they are now often confined to the domestic sphere. Traditional ideals of womanhood such as being a good wife and a wise mother are still present in the society, although the role of mother is often delegated to the father.
