Lien Waivers - Aren’t They All the Same

 

“Lien Waivers are common in construction credit. Project owners will often require lien waivers from contractors, subcontractors & suppliers to alleviate the possibility of subsequent mechanic’s lien filings. Lien Waivers are also one of the most misunderstood and misused documents in construction credit. It is crucial for all credit professionals to understand the verbiage, potential remedies and potential consequences of lien waivers, prior to signing the document.

Simple Definitions
Lien Waivers have a tendency of creating considerable confusion, so let’s take a quick look at the fundamental definition of our “key” words.
- Conditional: subject to requirements; made or granted on certain terms
- Unconditional: not subject to requirements; absolute
- Partial: existing only in part; incomplete
- Final: the last; end; termination or conclusion

If we pair up these definitions, we will begin to see the “purpose” or “core” of the type. For example, Partial + Conditional = existing only in part and is subject to requirements.”
