Lien Waiver & Release Masterclass ( Miami Seminar )
Lien waivers are complicated and have significant real work implications. Your signature on a release could give away some or all of your rights unintentionally. In this masterclass, we will dive deep into the traps, tricks, and treasures when dealing with releases. We will answer all of these questions and more:
- What is a conditional release and how do I make any release conditional on payment?
- If the release is titled “conditional,” isn’t that enough to make it conditional?
- What is a $10 release, and how do I use it to my advantage?
- What if someone forges my signature on a release? Is it still valid?
- Is the release valid even if I am holding the original and only gave the owner or contractor a copy?
- Is the release still valid if the check given to me bounces?
- How do I partially release lien rights after I recorded a lien so I can get a partial payment?
- What form of release should I give when I get a check?
- What form of release should I get when I make a payment?
- How do I add exceptions to the release to carve out claims and unexecuted change orders from the release?
