Lien Releases
All States
A lien was filed on my property beyond the 90 days past cessation of the work. Do I need to wait the full 90 days to see whether they will file a foreclosure lawsuit or what do I need to do now?
CaliforniaWe are looking into using zLien for all of our lien waiver needs, we want to be sure we have a good understanding of what the law in Texas states.
TexasWe've settled our lien and now need to release.
ArizonaI filed a lien and now I'm about to get paid, however the property owner and her attorney are demanding I use their specific release form. The girl from our office who signed our lien no longer works here and they are demanding she sign the release as well. I'm not sure if I need to use their form to release the lien, and I don't know if I legally need the same girl who signed the lien to also sign their release.
CaliforniaContractor wants me to remove lien before he will pay me. If i remove the lien to get payed what was the purpose of the lien ?
LouisianaSubcontractor has filed a lien against a private project that we are the GC on. This claim is in dispute, but we would like to release the lien from the property via a bond. Wasn't sure of the law in MO and if it allowed for such.
MissouriWe filed a lien on a property for a company that now has power of attorney. Is that property still lienable? Or do we have to release the lien?
TexasOn the Georgia lien waivers, there is language that says "WHEN YOU EXECUTE AND SUBMIT THIS DOCUMENT, YOU SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL THE AMOUNT STATED ABOVE, EVEN IF YOU HAVE NOT ACTUALLY RECEIVED SUCH PAYMENT, 60 DAYS AFTER THE DATE STATED ABOVE UNLESS YOU FILE EITHER AN AFFIDAVIT OF NONPAYMENT OR A CLAIM OF LIEN PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF SUCH 60 DAY PERIOD." If we signed Interim Waivers and Release Upon Payment and we aren't paid, does that mean we need to file a lien for each progress waiver? What if the 60 days expire but my last furnishing date was less than 90 days ago so I'm still within my lien rights timeline?
GeorgiaA frivolous mechanics lien was filed on my home by a pool contractor over 6 years ago. Ohio mechanics lines expire after 6 years but my question is whether I need to file anything to have the lien formally removed?
OhioWe used Zlien to file a mechanics lien for us in Florida. As soon as the lien was recorded the General Contractor, whom we worked for, contacted us and has offered us a settlement. Their condition for this settlement, is that they want us to go to the county and release the lien first and then bring them that document and they will pay us.
FloridaThinking that they were going to be appointed to administer property that was to go through a probate, lien claimants did work clearing out house cleaning back yard etc without ever being asked or requested or contracted for by the person who came to be the administrator, me. They filed an improper lis pendens which the probate court removed and the next day, through a straw man filed a mechanics lien. I never agreed, contracted or in any way requested them to undertake any work on the property, which has now been sold to a third party with court approval. Now, In order for escrow to close I have to remove this mechanics lien and potentially pursue a claim against them on behalf of the estate Whats involved to remove the lien (as I can not and will not pay it) and what remedies do I have against these scammers who have filed a false legal document
CaliforniaI funded general contractor specifically to provide funds for him to pay supplier of concrete. General did not pay supplier and supplier is now threatening to lien my property. There was no signed contract between myself and anyone involved and therefore,
no contract put on file at county recorders office. Can the supplier place an actionable lien on my property, is it valid? Property is a homestead in Texas. Also, if lien is not valid, how do I have it removed?
Texasvendors would like to fax us the lien releases from their suppliers so it is a copy, not a wet signature. Will this be valid? How do we protect against fraud?
CaliforniaI found two liens that my company filed many years ago (2012 and 2002). They still appear to be attached to the property when searched on the county's assessors page. My understanding is that liens in Washington state expire after 8 months if not enforced. If so, why are these liens still attached to the properties? Do we have any obligation to remove these liens? Can we still enforce them now?
WashingtonI am a property owner and tenants that I just evicted filed a "revenge" Mechanic's lien for many thousands of dollars against me, claiming that they did a lot of expensive work to the property (Nothing had been done, as a matter of fact they damaged the property, I did not give any consent for anything, seems to be a well organized scam done by people who are doing it for a living)
I am selling the property and need the lien disputed and canceled asap, otherwise the escrow company will forfeit some of my money and deliver to the scam artists
It is in Nevada
Can you let me know what is the easiest way to dismiss this Lien? I noticed that in order to place a Lien, one have to be a licensed constructor and we check the Nevada State Contractor Board and the tenants are NON registered (not a surprise, the entire claim is fraudulent)
please advise
Thanks, Yoram
Nevada
