What to include
- The claimant, customer or contractor, hiring party, project name, property description, and contract or invoice reference.
- The waiver type and exact language supplied for the state and payment stage, including whether it is conditional or unconditional.
- The payment amount, payment-through date, disputed or excluded amounts, check or transfer reference, and effective conditions.
- The signature, title, date, acknowledgment or notarization fields, and delivery details required for the selected form.
Common questions
- How do I choose between a conditional and unconditional lien waiver?
- Use the waiver type required for the payment stage and jurisdiction. A conditional waiver generally depends on the stated payment being received, while an unconditional waiver states that the covered rights are waived without that condition; required forms and effects vary by state.
- What payment details should the waiver match?
- Match the party names, project and property, payment amount, payment-through date, invoice or application, excluded claims, and payment reference to the underlying records before signing.
- Can I use the same lien-waiver wording in every state?
- No. Some states prescribe forms, wording, timing, or notarization, and the contract may add project-specific requirements. Confirm the current form for the property location before the document is signed or delivered.
