Mechanic's Lien

If you're a mechanic and are working on a project, and want to help ensure that you'll be paid regardless of the status of the property, you can use a Mechanic's Lien. A lien helps prevent the property owner from selling the property you've worked on without first paying you, the lienholder. If you are a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier who was hired for a project, you may be able to use the lien retroactively, depending on the laws of the particular state you are working in.

Use the Mechanic's Lien document if:

• You worked on someone's property and haven't been paid.
• You're a regular mechanical contractor, subcontractor, or supplier.
