Questions answered? Let's get started!

A statutory Notice of Contest of Claim against a Payment Bond, as set forth by 713.23(1)(e) Fla. Stat. (2016), is used by a contractor or her attorney to dispute a demand for payment for labor, services, or materials. A contractor or the contractor's attorney may also use this form to shorten the time allotted to commence a claim against a payment bond provided under this section or 713.245.

Before filing this notice, the lienor must have recorded both a Notice to Contractor and a Notice of Nonpayment. As specified in 713.23, an "action for the labor or materials or supplies may not be instituted or prosecuted against the contractor or surety unless both notices have been given, if required by this section."

Further, the law limits the window to initiate an action against the contractor or against the surety on the bond to one year from the performance of the labor or completion of delivery of the materials and supplies. The countdown starts on the last day of furnishing labor, services, or materials by the lienor, and exceeding the time limit will likely invalidate the lienor's claim.

This document includes the name and address of the lienor, the dates on which the notice of nonpayment was drafted and served, and the date on which the notice is signed. The contractor or his attorney must sign the form in front of a notary before delivery to the lienor.

After being served with the notice, the lienor must respond with a suit to enforce his or her claim against the payment bond within 60 days or his claim will be extinguished automatically.

Each case is unique, so contact an attorney with questions about using a statutory Notice of Contest of Claim or other issues related to Florida's Construction Lien Law.

After a little glitch due to heavy volume at the County Recorder, my document was recorded. County Recorder was closed to public access at the office (due to the coronavirus issues) so all documents were either mailed to them or sent in electronically. Deeds.com was very efficient at their end with very quick responses to my questions and concerns. I would definitely use their services again.

Straightforward and pretty easy to use. The only downside is that there is no way to contact them directly. The number on the website is answered only by a voicemail with no return calls. Pricing seems fair compared to other services and much more efficient that filing "over the counter."

Very disappointed that you had certain documents but did not have the accompanying documents needed to complete the transfer. I also had issues with the documents not allowing you to fill in the pages... example the document was prefilled in as so ... Page 1 of_____ but you could not fill in the blank... I tried reaching out to your customer service, but they had no solution for me. So, I had to write in the page, which didn't look professional. I think I could have gotten documents just as good for free if I'd research a little longer.

Thank you for your feedback, Nancy.

The Virginia Transfer on Death Deed and the Virginia Transfer on Death Beneficiary Affidavit are separate documents and are offered individually because many customers only need one, depending on their situation. In your case, the affidavit was later ordered separately.

Regarding the page numbering (“Page 1 of ___”), that field is intentionally left blank. The total number of pages is not known until the document is finalized, signed, notarized, and all attachments (such as exhibits or legal descriptions) are included. It is standard practice to complete that portion by hand at execution so the final page count accurately reflects the recorded document.

We are unable to locate a customer service inquiry associated with your order, but we are always glad to assist when contacted directly.

We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best with your transfer.
