Mechanics Lien Release

MECHANIC'S LIEN RELEASE. This form is used to release a mechanic’s lien that has been placed on a property. A mechanic’s lien is a legal claim against a property for unpaid work or materials. When the lien is recorded in the office of the County Recorder, it creates a ‘cloud’ on the title, meaning that anyone searching the title will discover the claim of lien. This can prevent the property from being sold, refinanced, or accepted as security for a debt until the lien is cleared. The form is used when the claim under the lien has been fully paid and satisfied. The lien claimant signs and records a release of their claim, which clears the title. The form includes details about the lien claimant, the owner or purported owner and contractor as named in the Mechanic’s Lien, and the real property upon which the lien was claimed. The form also includes an acknowledgement section where the claimant or their agent verifies that the contents of the claim are true to the best of their knowledge. The form is signed by the claimant or their authorized agent and notarized. This form serves as a formal record of the release of a mechanic’s lien. www.FormsWorkflow.com
