NOTICE TO CLAIMANT: THIS DOCUMENT WAIVES AND RELEASES LIEN, STOP PAYMENT NOTICE, AND PAYMENT BOND RIGHTS UNCONDITIONALLY AND STATES THAT YOU HAVE BEEN PAID FOR GIVING UP THOSE RIGHTS. THIS DOCUMENT IS ENFORCEABLE AGAINST YOU IF YOU SIGN IT, EVEN IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PAID.

What is an unconditional release on final payment? The Unconditional Waiver and Release on Final Payment form is used when the claimant is required to execute a waiver in exchange for a final payment, and the claimant acknowledges that final payment has been received.

Since Nevada is just one of 12 states that provide statutory lien waiver forms construction participants can be more sure of what the documents they are requesting and providing actually do and say.

An unconditional release means no restrictions are imposed on the release of the lien. This type of lien release is typically used in final project documents to verify the project completion, payment finalization, and your release of all future rights to file liens on the project.

Unconditional Waiver and Release Upon Final Payment Use this form when the claimant is required to sign a waiver and release in exchange for, or in order to, induce a final payment and the claimant asserts in the waiver that he or she has received the final payment.

A conditional waiver gives up lien rights, but only if one condition is met: You must receive the payment for the waiver to be effective. Once that payment hits your bank account, the waiver is just as enforceable as an unconditional waiver. This form should be used while you are still waiting to be paid.

On residential projects in Nevada (including apartment buildings), a 15-day Notice of Intent to Lien must be sent by any party before filing a lien. On non-residential projects, it may be filed. This document advises the party that a lien will be filed if payment is not received within 15 days.
