A Subcontractor Affidavit and Final Release of Claims and Lien Waiver is a document that is used to release a subcontractor from any and all claims or liens they may have against the contractor or property owner. This document serves as a legal agreement between the contractor and the subcontractor that all claims, liens, and any other legal matters have been fulfilled and resolved. This document is usually signed by both parties and notarized to ensure it is legally binding. The two main types of Subcontractor Affidavit and Final Release of Claims and Lien Waiver are: • Preliminary Subcontractor Affidavit and Final Release of Claims and Lien Waiver: This document is signed at the beginning of the project prior to any work being done. • Final Subcontractor Affidavit and Final Release of Claims and Lien Waiver: This document is signed after the project is completed and all claims and liens are satisfied.
