A lien waiver is quite common in the construction business. Essentially, it is a document from a contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or another party who holds a mechanic's lien that states they have been paid in full and waive future lien rights to the disputed property.

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.

Signing an unconditional lien waiver is enforceable even before you get paid. This means that if you sign an unconditional lien waiver before receiving the money and the property owner ends up not paying up, you have already waived your lien rights because you signed the unconditional lien waiver.

A lien is a claim on property to ensure payment of a debt. When you borrow money to purchase a car, the lender files a lien on the vehicle with the state to insure that if the loan defaults, the lender can take the car. When the debt is fully repaid, a release of the lien is provided by the lender.

When a person pays off a loan in full, the lien is removed. The asset is no longer pledged to the creditor when the balance is completely paid. When this happens, the creditor acknowledges the release of the lien by signing a Mortgage Release of Lien Certificate.
