Questions answered? Let's get started!
In Colorado, claimants must serve a property owner with preliminary (a.k.a. "prelien") notice before claiming a mechanic's lien. This is required as a means of protection for the owner by warning the property owner, prime contractor, or any other party that a mechanics lien will be filed unless payment of past due amounts is made.
To preserve lien rights for work performed or laborers or materials furnished, there must be a notice of intent to file a lien statement served upon the owner (or reputed owner) of the property or the owner's agent and the principal or prime contractor or his or her agent at least ten days before the time of filing the lien statement with the county clerk and recorder. C.R.S. 38-22-109(3). The notice of intent must be served through personal service or by registered or certified mail, with a return receipt requested, and addressed to the last known address of such persons. Id. An affidavit of service or mailing must also be filed for record with the lien statement and will constitute proof of such service. Id.
The notice form contains the following information: (1) the lien claimant's name and address; (2) the property owner's name and address; (3) any common name of the property; (4) a legal description of the property; and (5) the general contractor's name and address. The form also contains two affidavits of service to verify service was made on either the owner or contractor or both.

Really solid system for determining what may prevent your documents from being accepted. I love the comments section allowing for fluid communication. I only wish there were automated emails for all those communications and once documents were accepted, but I did receive a couple personally-generated emails regarding the progress instructing me to check the site.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The program fields should allow the customer to change font size and allow additional space for information to be place on the Deed. Not Bad, still needs improvement.
Thank you for your feedback Maurice. Unfortunately we do not make the requirements for things like font size and margins, we only make the documents to be compliant with them.

Example deed given did not apply to married couples as joint owners with both being grantors. The example and directions also did not show how to write more than one grantee as equal grantees. Both would have been helpful when husband and wife are granting their property to their children equally. Also when attaching the exhibit A with the property description the example did not say "see exhibit A"in the property description area, so I didn't write that. Luckily the recorder of deeds allowed me to write it in. I think directions and examples for multiple scenarios would be helpful.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I would have liked more room in the text fields for describing the potential claim. had to use Exhibit A. Could not delete Exhibit B. Alo would like to have a custom footer - not deeds.com. Unprofessional.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
