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. Wyoming Assignment of Lien by General Contractor is a legal document that allows a general contractor to transfer their right to place a lien on a property to another party, typically a subcontractor or supplier, who is owed money for work completed or materials provided on a construction project. This assignment enables the subcontractor or supplier to assert their claim against the property owner or other responsible parties and seek payment for their contributions to the project. In Wyoming, there are two types of Assignment of Lien by General Contractor: voluntary and involuntary. 1. Voluntary Assignment: This type of assignment occurs when a general contractor willingly transfers their lien rights to another party. This usually happens when the general contractor has subcontracted a portion of the work to another entity or when they want to assign their lien rights to a potential lender or financing company. By voluntarily assigning their lien rights, the general contractor can redirect the claim for payment to the assigned party. 2. Involuntary Assignment: In some cases, a general contractor's lien rights may be involuntarily assigned to another party due to legal reasons. This can occur when the general contractor fails to pay their subcontractors or suppliers and those parties file a lien against the property to secure payment. The court may then assign the lien rights to the subcontractor or supplier, allowing them to pursue payment from the property owner. The Wyoming Assignment of Lien by General Contractor document must include details such as: 1. Names and contact information of the general contractor, the party being assigned the lien rights, and the property owner. 2. Description of the construction project and the property where the work was performed. 3. Amount owed to the general contractor and the reason for the assignment. 4. A statement transferring the general contractor's lien rights to the assignee. 5. Signatures of all involved parties and the date of the assignment. It is crucial to consult with a qualified attorney or legal professional when preparing and executing a Wyoming Assignment of Lien by General Contractor document to ensure compliance with state laws and to protect the rights and interests of all parties involved.
