Alabama Unconditional Waiver and Release of Lien on Progress Payment
Alabama mechanic's liens are governed under Chapter 11 of the Alabama Property Code (Section 11). Throughout the construction process, potential claimants may elect to serve the property owner with a lien waiver in exchange for partial or full payment.
The term "waiver" refers to giving up a legal right. In this case, the person granting the waiver is giving up the right to seek a mechanic's lien for all or part of the amount due. This assurance is usually enough to get the other party to pay. In Alabama, there are no statutory forms for waivers, although according to the principles of contract law, the parties may agree to such modifications in writing.
Waivers generally come in four varieties: conditional or unconditional, and partial or final. A conditional waiver means the waiver is conditioned upon the claimant receiving the amount due, while unconditional waivers are effective regardless if payment is actually made. Partial waivers are used to waive a portion of lien rights for up to the partial or progress payment amount, and final waivers release all lien rights based on a customer's full payment.
Use a partial unconditional waiver when the owner makes less than the full or final payment and the contractor is not worried about confirming the payment method. Be sure to note any exceptions to which the waiver will not apply. An unconditional waiver is effective when signed and given to the property owner, and waives a portion of the lien amount representing the partial payment made. Note that if accepting a payment via check, a conditional waiver makes more sense if there are doubts about whether the check will clear the bank.

I had a great experience using Deeds.com to file my legal document. The whole process was simple and easy to follow. The website walks you through each step, and everything is explained clearly. At one point, I had to resubmit my documents, but even that was quick and easy. There were clear instructions, and I had no trouble making the changes and sending them again. The communication was great too. I was kept updated the whole time, and any questions I had were answered fast. If you need to file legal documents and want a stress-free way to do it, I definitely recommend Deeds.com. They made the whole process smooth from start to finish.

The Executor's Guide needs more info about what to put for grantee (estate of deceased or my name as executor?) and the price (something nominal like $10?) before there is a buyer. The guide seems to use only one example.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
