In order to preserve the right to file a Maryland mechanics lien, the lien claimant must usually send a Notice of Intent to Lien. When hired directly by the property owner, that notice isn't required - and a lien claimant can go straight to filing their lien claim, if they'd like (though, sending a Notice of Intent to Lien is still generally a good idea).
But, for those who must preserve their right to lien with a Notice of Intent, there's certain information that must be included in the notice. That information includes the claimant's name, what they're owed, and what they've earned to date. You can see Levelset's template for the form here: Maryland Notice of Intent to Lien Form.
As for a Maryland lien claim, itself - there's a lot of information that must be included in order for a lien claim to be valid. Levelset discusses that in great detail, here: How to File a Mechanics Lien in Maryland | A Practical Guide.
