Subcontractor Affidavit and Final Release of Claims and Lien Waiver is a document that releases a subcontractor from any claims or liens arising out of their work on a construction project. The document is used to protect the owner from any future claims from the subcontractor and is often required before a subcontractor is paid for their work. The document includes a sworn statement from the subcontractor that they have completed their work and have no further claims against the owner. It also includes a waiver of any lien the subcontractor may have against the property. There are two main types of Subcontractor Affidavit and Final Release of Claims and Lien Waiver: Standard Form Release and Custom Form Release. The Standard Form Release is a form document that is used in many states and contains the basic elements of Release of Claims and Lien Waiver. The Custom Form Release is a more detailed document that is tailored to the needs of the specific project and is usually drafted by an attorney.
