PARTIAL CONDITIONAL WAIVER OF LIEN
(Michigan Compiled Laws § 570.1115)
Project: _________________
Owner: _________________
Lienor: _________________
Through Date: _________________
The lienor, upon receipt of $_________, waives and releases any lien or claim of lien for labor or material furnished through the through date. This waiver is conditioned upon receipt of payment.
Signature: _________________
Title: _________________
Date: _________________
Fill in all blank fields before signing. In Michigan, using a non-statutory form may void the waiver. No notarization required.
Subcontractors who do not have a direct contract with the owner must serve a Notice of Furnishing within 20 days of first furnishing labor or materials. Without this notice, lien rights are lost.
Before an owner is required to pay the general contractor, the GC must provide a sworn statement listing all subcontractors and suppliers on the project and the amount owed to each. This allows the owner to issue joint checks to protect against mechanic liens.
