Lien Waivers, Construction Lien Act

[Reed Starkey]

I asked my attorney for some Lien waivers, and I got more than I understand.  I was hoping to pull from the vast knowledge of BP to help explain.

I received the following:

Notice of Commencement

Notice of furnishing

Sworn Statement

Partial Conditional Waiver

Partial Unconditional Waiver

Full Conditional Waiver

Full Unconditional Waiver

Claim of Lien

I think I understand the Partial/Full Conditional/Unconditional Waiver, but I am a bit confused on the rest.  If someone could explain these in laymen's terms, It would be a great help.

Thank you

 [my guess as to what he sent since I can't read them] 

You also need in there date work stopped or dates unpaid and dates of demand depending on your state laws. You have a window, generally 90 days to file from non=payment or work stop date. Good luck :)
