The right to execute and deliver a stop notice or a notice to withhold funds is a remedy closely related to a mechanic's lien. When a stop notice or a notice to withhold funds is received by an individual or a firm holding the construction funds for a project, the individual or firm must withhold from its disbursements sufficient money to satisfy the stop notice claim. In this form, the contractor is informing the claimant that he is contesting complainant's claim and sending a copy of this notice to the holder of the constructions funds.
