How to fill out a conditional waiver and release on final payment

Lien Release: After a lien has been filed, the California claimant can release or cancel the lien by filing a Mechanics Lien Release form with the county recorder's office where the lien was originally recorded.

Only Three States Require Notarization There are just 3 states where lien waivers must be notarized: Texas, Wyoming, and Mississippi.

Contractors, subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers can file what is called a "mechanics lien" on a homeowner's property if they don't get paid. Property owners need to be aware of the process so they can avoid financial and legal pitfalls.
