Mechanics Lien Release Form

Can't wait to strike off that beastly lien from your property title? With our mechanics lien release form, doing just that will be a walk in the park.

Before Using Our Release of Lien Form, You Should Know These Facts

Before we drill any deeper, let's take a few seconds to clear up a few important matters.

To begin with, our mechanics lien release form below is for property owners who already have a nasty lien or two clinging onto their property title. When signed by the contractor, subcontractor or supplier who filed the lien, this form will undo the damage and give you back a crystal-clear title.

If you are looking for a form to prevent and ward off mechanic liens before they even happen, then you should be looking at lien waiver forms instead - Click here for our Lien Waiver Form.

Once someone files a Mechanics Lien Form against you, the claimant has 90 days to enforce the lien. The good news is that the lien claimants don't often take action and the lien becomes invalid. The bad news is that an invalid lien will still cloud your precious property title, and this will give you a world of pain when you refinance or sell the real estate.

To clear up this nasty cloud, you will need the claimant to sign a release of mechanics lien form ... or take the long winding path and petition the court for a release.

* While we work hard to make sure that our free release of lien form is helpful, you must edit it according to your own needs and local real estate law. Always seek legal help when in doubt.
