Illinois Subcontractor's Final Waiver and Release of Mechanic's Lien

Use the Final Lien Waiver after the confirmed final payment on an outstanding mechanic's lien. A subcontractor signs this form and provides to the owner and/or prime contractor in exchange for final payment on the job.

My rating is not a 5. Although it had good instructions, it would NOT print the whole document no matter how many times I inputted the names. I ended up writing it in to complete. I also recommend putting it on one page. I had to pay an additional fees per page and if I had to notarize it, why did I have to find 2 witnesses as well. I deserve a discount for the time I spent repeatedly putting the same data. I was trying to save money since Im on social security only. It didnt. Get it to work correctly
Thank you for your feedback Lynnellen. Sorry to hear of your struggle with our document. We've gone ahead and refunded your payment. Hope you have a wonderful day.

I really appreciate your forms according to South Dakota laws and statues. Your forms allow me to effectively do estate planning without extensive legal expenses. The "Revocable Transfer of Death Deed" is perfect to protect against extensive probate problems for seniors in retirement. Thank you and May God Bless.

Package downloaded without any problems. Help sheet was fair. Maybe they could cross reference the help number on the help sheet to the form better - somehow. Overall, I was pleased. I was able to download, fill in the blanks and do what edits I thought it needed with ease. Cost was very reasonable. I'll give it a 5.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Your instructions and sample are geared towards businesses. It would have been helpful to have included some for us individuals as married couples as well. I also recall one or two spelling errors on the form that I could not fix, and the instructions seem to be for a prior form. This particular registry also required a stamped self-addressed envelope for return of documents. Hey, you asked! Overall, pleased.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
