This form is a Waiver and Release of a Lien by a Contractor. A contractor waives and releases its lien and right to claim a lien for labor, services, or materials on a construction project described in the document.
A New Jersey Waiver of Lien is a legal document that serves as a written agreement between parties involved in a construction project, typically the contractor and the subcontractor or supplier. It establishes an understanding that the contractor waives their right to place a lien on the property for the amount owed to them for the work or materials provided. Keywords: New Jersey, Waiver of Lien, construction project, contractor, subcontractor, supplier, property, lien. There are two types of New Jersey Waivers of Lien commonly used: 1. Conditional Waiver of Lien: This type of waiver is typically signed by the contractor or subcontractor upon receiving a partial payment for the work completed or materials delivered. By signing the conditional waiver, the contractor acknowledges receiving the payment and guarantees that they will not file a lien against the property for that specific amount. However, if the payment is not honored or clears, the contractor may still have the right to file a lien. 2. Unconditional Waiver of Lien: This type of waiver is signed when the contractor or subcontractor receives full payment for the work completed or materials provided. By signing the unconditional waiver, the contractor relinquishes their right to file a lien on the property for the entire amount paid. Unlike the conditional waiver, once the unconditional waiver is signed and payment is received, the contractor loses the right to file a lien even if the payment does not clear. Both types of waivers are important in the construction industry as they provide assurance to property owners that potential liens will not hinder the transfer or sale of the property. They also protect contractors and subcontractors by ensuring timely payment for the services rendered or materials supplied. In conclusion, a New Jersey Waiver of Lien is a crucial legal document that helps establish payment agreements and protect the interests of all parties involved in a construction project. By properly utilizing either a conditional or unconditional waiver, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and property owners can ensure a smooth construction process and mitigate the risk of legal disputes.
