Mechanic's Lien Warning
Anyone who helps improve your property, but who is not paid, may record what is called a mechanics lien on your property. A mechanics lien is a claim, like a mortgage or home equity loan, made against your property and recorded with the county recorder. Even if you pay your contractor in full, unpaid subcontractors, suppliers, and labors who helped to improve your property may record a mechanics lien and sue you in court to foreclose the lien. If a court nds the lien is valid, you preserve their right to record a lien, each subcontractor and material supplier must provide you with a document called a "20 Day Preliminary Notice." this notice is not a lien. The purpose of the notice is to let you know that the person who sends you the notice has the right to record a lien on your property if he or she is not paid. Protect yourself from liens. You can protect yourself from liens by getting a list of all subcontractors, laborers and suppliers that work on your project. Make sure every person has been paid in full after completion of each phase in writing. Remember, If you do nothing, You risk having a lien placed on your home. This can mean that you may have to pay twice, or face the forced sale of your home to pay what you owe.
