Description

This form provides for a contractor to waive any lien claims in lands on or for which labor or materials have been provided. A Michigan Waiver of Lien Claim by Contractor is a legal document used in the construction industry to waive or release the contractor's right to place a lien on a property in the event of non-payment. It serves as a written confirmation by the contractor that they have received payment for the work performed or supplies provided, and that they waive any future claims to a lien on the property. The Michigan Waiver of Lien Claim by Contractor is an essential part of the construction process, ensuring that contractors are paid promptly and that property owners are protected from potential liens. By signing this waiver, the contractor acknowledges that they have been compensated for their work and materials, which in turn provides peace of mind to the property owner. There are different types of Michigan Waiver of Lien Claim by Contractor: 1. Conditional Waiver and Release Upon Progress Payment: This waiver is used when the contractor receives a partial payment from the property owner during the project. It acknowledges that the contractor has been paid a certain amount but only for the work done up to that specific payment. 2. Conditional Waiver and Release Upon Final Payment: This waiver is used when the contractor receives the final payment from the property owner, indicating that the project is completed. It confirms that the contractor has been paid in full and waives any future claims to a lien on the property. 3. Unconditional Waiver and Release Upon Progress Payment: Unlike the conditional waivers, this waiver is used when the contractor receives a partial payment and confirms that they have been paid in full for the work done up to that point. It does not depend on the actual receipt of payment; rather, it is an affirmation that payment has been made or will be made. 4. Unconditional Waiver and Release Upon Final Payment: Similar to the conditional waiver, this waiver is utilized when the contractor receives the final payment. It signifies that the contractor has been fully compensated and waives any future claims to a lien on the property. Property owners and contractors should carefully review and understand the specific type of waiver they are using and ensure the document accurately reflects the payment agreements reached. Consulting with a legal professional familiar with Michigan lien laws is recommended to ensure compliance and to protect the rights and interests of all parties involved in a construction project.
