Construction Liens
A lien is a legal claim against someone’s property that can be used as collateral to pay a debt. It can be applied to various assets, including houses and cars. However, a construction lien, also known as a mechanic lien, serves a specific purpose. It comes into play when a property owner fails to pay a contractor for work done on their property. What sets it apart from other liens is that it can only be attached to the property where the work was completed, not the homeowner’s other assets.
It’s important to note that filing a claim of lien doesn’t guarantee that an architect, contractor, sub-contractor, supplier, or materialman will automatically receive payment. While most property owners aim to avoid an encumbrance on their property, others, especially those with no intention of selling, may not be motivated to resolve the issue.
We can assist your business in navigating the process of “perfecting” a lien through a lawsuit or arbitration to enforce it. It’s crucial to act swiftly because you have a 365-day window from the date of the original filing. Delaying action can lead to deadline complications, particularly in complex cases that require gathering evidence from various sources to support your claim.
Materialmen’s Lien Claims and Defense
Under Georgia law, you have the right to make a claim when you aren’t compensated for your work, typically done by placing a materialmen’s lien on the property. Materialmen’s lien litigation deals with intricate issues and strict procedural limits, making it crucial to seek guidance from a legal professional to navigate the complex process without making errors.
Filing a materialmen’s lien incorrectly could render it invalid, leaving you unable to recover your incurred losses. Whether you’re placing a lien on a property or contesting a pre-existing one, we can assist you throughout the legal process. At Reed Leeper, P.C., we can help you properly establish a materialmen’s lien, and we’re also here to defend you if you’re facing a challenge from another party with a perfected lien.
