Montgomery Maryland Waiver of Construction Lien is a legal document used in the state of Maryland to release or waive a construction lien on a property. Construction liens represent claims made by contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers who have not been paid for their work or materials used on a construction project. By signing a waiver of construction lien, the claimant relinquishes their right to enforce the lien and acknowledges receipt of full and final payment. There are two main types of Montgomery Maryland Waiver of Construction Lien: 1. Conditional Waiver of Construction Lien: This type of waiver is used when a claimant receives a progress payment or partial payment and agrees to waive their lien rights only to the extent of the payment received. It is typically issued before the funds are fully cleared and can be invalidated if the payment is not honored or clears the bank. 2. Unconditional Waiver of Construction Lien: This type of waiver is used when a claimant has received full payment for their work or materials. By signing this waiver, the claimant relinquishes their right to enforce a construction lien on the property. It is important to note that an unconditional waiver is effective once signed, even if the payment has not yet cleared the bank. Both types of waivers should include the following details: — Names and addresses of the owner or property owner (referred to as the "Payer") and the person or organization owed the payment (referred to as the "Claimant"). — A description of the property where the construction took place, including the legal description and the relevant project address. — The amount of payment being made or received, along with the date of payment. — A clear statement of intent to waive or release any construction lien rights upon signing the document. — Signatures of both the Payer and the Claimant, along with the date of execution. It is crucial to consult with a qualified attorney when preparing or executing a Montgomery Maryland Waiver of Construction Lien to ensure compliance with relevant state laws and to protect the rights and interests of all parties involved.
