Mechanic's Lien Waiver

If you've paid, or are just about to pay, a mechanic for work they have completed, you can get them to sign a Mechanic's Lien Waiver to help protect yourself from future claims for payment. When you hire a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier, they have a right to put a lien on your property if you don't pay. With a lien waiver (in exchange for your payment), the mechanic will agree to release any lien, or other claim, that they may have against the property they've worked on.

Use the Mechanic's Lien Waiver document if:

• You've contracted a mechanic and are ready to pay them, and want to avoid have a lien taken out against your property.
• You're a contractor and are getting paid for your work, and want to release your right to a lien on their property.
