I received a check for a project in UT. It included this lien waiver as a condition of endorsement:
In consideration of the payment of this check, the payee by endorsing &/or negotiation same waives & relinquishes all right of lien or claims payee now has upon the project described by common job name/number on reverse side herof. Undersigned further acknowledges & guarantees that it has made payment in full to all laborers & suppliers under its scope of work to date hereof.
Is this a conditional or final waiver? Do I completely waive my lien rights if I endorse a check with this terminology? ...Read More

I have had a horrible experience with a detached garage build. to summarize: we are almost done 2 months after the initial deadline, there have been multiple failed inspections (most of which were skipped until the final), the contractor was forced to redo many things after the inspections, one sub asked to be paid directly because he had no faith in the contractor, and I never got the correct foundation poured with ledge walls as was agreed upon in the contract.
the contractor asked for an advance on the final payment, which I declined. We are nearing completion and I was served a writ of garnishment due to a successful lawsuit against the contractor where they will be garnishing his wages.
At final payment I plan to dispute the cost since the foundation is incorrect. But, I am highly suspicious that the subs arent going to get paid and when I asked for waivers of lien, he explained that the demo crew and framers are his employees so they dont provide waivers. How can I make sure I get all of the waivers before I release payment to the court? ...Read More
We have had significant delays with our home remodel. We are heading into our 6th month of a “3-4 month” project. Our GC tells us it’s sub and supplier delays. Our cabinet maker would not deliver our cabinets because he’s had issues getting paid by our GC on previous projects. He did deliver and I witnessed our GC write him a check; however, I’m concerned. Am I legally allowed to ask fro lien waivers from my GC, his Subs and suppliers prior to giving him the last payment of the project? From reading your page, it seems the waiver would not be effective until payment was made. We will pay in full, but want the lien waivers to protect us.
Also, if work is not done to our satisfaction, are we legally able to withhold payment until done correctly (I.e., we got a new window, the mortar does not match the rest of the house. It’s obviously a very different color). ...Read More
