My lien was recorded about three weeks ago, and I see that I have a month to get the lien served. However, the Sheriff hasn't confirmed that the lien has been served. Do I wait the full month and then post the lien on the property, or should I do it sooner rather than later to cover my bases?
If I do have to post the lien on the property, what do I do about the affidavit or acceptance of service that must be filed within 20 days? ...Read More

Hello,
We performed work in Pennsylvania (Philadelphia to be precise) and we have approximately $20k oustanding for some professional engineering design and construction administration services.
The work was performed throughout 2018 and 2019.
Would filing a lien against the property help us in collecting the outstanding receivables? What are the requirements of timing to file the proper lien.
Thank you...Read More
Th oewner of the property is an LLC, they hired us to provide siding works. In the end they didn't pay in full. We wanted to file a mechanics lien against the LLC.
Please, correct me if I'm worng. We have 6 months for that and first we need to send a notice of intent, than we need to serve an affidavit of notice within 20 days, and than we can file a lien within the same period.

I am a homeowner who wants to put a lien against my property next door. The house has been abandoned for about 3 years, owners deceased and no next of kin. Currently, the bank owns it, it has back taxes and will be on Sheriff Sale in July.

The cost of the tree removal was $500, as well as the materials for boarding and labor to hire ...Read More
