So what exactly is required to be within a construction lien? Each state has statutes that set out very specifically what a “claim of lien” or “mechanics lien” must contain to be considered valid.
Since lien statutes are typically “hyper-technical,” even the smallest mistake can cause your lien to be considered worthless by a court. Hiring an experienced legal document preparation service like Express Lien helps ensure that your liens meet the technical filing requirements and protect your company’s right to payment.
A construction law firm in Seattle, WA and New Orleans, LA – Wolfe Law Group – just published an article on their blog about the contents of construction liens in Washington and Louisiana. The article, titled “The Guts of a Construction Lien,” gets very specific about what must be recorded with every claim of lien in those states.
Take a look at the article for more information – they even provide readers with construction lien forms for both states at no charge.
