Description

This form is an example of an assignment of a mechanic's lien. By virtue of express statutes in most states, mechanics and materialmen (persons who furnish materials for the erection of houses or other buildings), are entitled to a lien or preference in the payment of debts out of the houses and buildings so erected and to the land on which they are erected. A Colorado Assignment of Lien by General Contractor is a legally binding document that allows a general contractor to transfer their lien rights to another party, usually a subcontractor or supplier, in regard to a specific construction project in Colorado. This agreement is commonly used to ensure payment and protect the interests of subcontractors involved in a project. In Colorado, there are two main types of Assignment of Lien by General Contractor: 1. Voluntary Assignment of Lien: This occurs when a general contractor willingly transfers their lien rights to another party. It is typically used when the general contractor wants to ensure that a subcontractor or supplier receives payment directly from the property owner, bypassing the general contractor. 2. Involuntary Assignment of Lien: This type of assignment occurs when a subcontractor or supplier asserts their lien rights against a general contractor. After filing a mechanic's lien against the property, the subcontractor or supplier may choose to execute an involuntary assignment of lien, forcefully transferring the general contractor's lien rights to themselves. This is often done to secure their payment if the general contractor fails to fulfill their financial obligations. The primary purpose of an Assignment of Lien by General Contractor is to provide subcontractors and suppliers with a legal tool to ensure their payment for services rendered or materials supplied during a construction project in Colorado. By transferring lien rights to another party, subcontractors can directly pursue payment from property owners, either by initiating legal action or foreclosing on the property if necessary. It is important to note that an Assignment of Lien by General Contractor should be executed in adherence to Colorado's lien laws and should be carefully reviewed by legal professionals specializing in construction and real estate matters.
