Partial Release of Mechanic's or Construction Lien
What is this form?
The Partial Release of Mechanic's or Construction Lien form is a legal document that allows a contractor or subcontractor to release their claim against a property for unpaid work done, but only for a specific part of the property. This form differs from a full lien release as it only pertains to a portion of the work or property, allowing the contractor to maintain a claim over any remaining areas. It is essential for ensuring that payments are appropriately acknowledged while protecting the contractor's rights to any unpaid amounts on other parts of the property.

When to use this form

You may be expecting future payments on the project, but are looking to sign a waiver for a specific progress or partial payment that you are receiving.
If you are approved for the partial mortgage release, you will receive notification within two to six weeks.
Partial lien waivers waive lien rights for a portion of the total contract value. For example, if a material supplier is expecting to be paid $30k for supplies delivered to a project but is to be paid in three installments of $10k each, they might sign a partial lien waiver for $10k for each payment received.
A lien waiver is signed before a lien is actually filed. The party submitting the lien waiver states that they waive the right to lien against the project. In some instances, the property owner or general contractor may request that you sign and deliver a lien waiver before payment is disbursed.
A "Conditional Waiver and Release Upon Progress Payment" discharges all claimant rights through a specific date, provided the payments have actually been received and processed. An "Unconditional Waiver and Release Upon Final Payment" extinguishes all claimant rights upon receipt of the payment.
