Questions answered? Let's get started!

Under Massachusetts law, a contractor or subcontractor furnishing labor, material, equipment, or tools must file and record a Notice of Contract to claim a mechanic's lien. The Notice of Contract also puts all parties on notice that the party filing may have a claim for a mechanic's lien.

Whoever furnishes labor, including subcontractor construction management services, or furnishes material, labor and material, rental equipment, appliances or tools, or who performs professional services, under a written contract with a contractor, or with a subcontractor of the contractor, may file or record in the registry of deeds for the county or district where such land lies a notice of his contract. M.G.L. C. 254, 4.

The Notice of Contract contains the date of the contract, the names of the parties to the contract, the property owner's name and address, the address of the subject property and a legal land description, and a description of the contract amount as well as any modifications and amounts in dispute. Id.

The Notice should be filed or recorded any time after the written contract is executed, whether or not the date for performance stated in the written contract has passed and whether or not the work under the contract has been performed, but not later than the earliest of: (i) sixty days after filing or recording the notice of substantial completion; or (ii) ninety days after filing or recording the notice of termination; or (iii) ninety days after the last day a person entitled to enforce a lien or anyone claiming by, through or under him performed or furnished labor or materials or both labor and materials to the project or furnished rental equipment, appliances or tools, or performed professional services. Id.

The notice may also be filed by a person, or an authorized representative or third party beneficiary to whom amounts are due, or for whose benefit amounts are computed and due on the basis of that person performing labor under a written contract with a contractor, or with a subcontractor of such contractor. The person filing such notice shall not be required to itemize the amount of the contract, the amount of pending changes in the contract, the amount of outstanding claims or the amount paid in such notice. Id.

Upon the filing or recording of the notice, and giving actual notice to the owner of the filing, the subcontractor will have a lien upon the property, land, building, structure or improvement owned by the party who entered into the original contract as it appears in record at the time of the filing. Id. The lien will be used to secure the payment of all labor and material and rental equipment, appliances or tools or professional services which the subcontract will furnish or has furnished for the building or structure or other improvement, regardless of the amount stated in the notice of contract. Id.

The lien amount may not exceed the amount due or to become due under the original contract as of the date the notice of the filing of the subcontract is given by the subcontractor to the owner. Id.

Filing the notice of contract is a necessary step to perfect the mechanic's lien. A lien alone may not guarantee payment, however, and a lawsuit to enforce the lien or a foreclosure action may be required.

This article is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal advice. If you have any questions about filing a mechanic's lien in Massachusetts, please consult with an attorney.

I needed a quitclaim deed to transfer ownership of a home. An attorney wanted $400.00 to file the deed. I downloaded a blank deed for my area from deeds.com. I received it instantly. (Small fee) it came with instructions and a template. I filled it out and submitted it to the County Clerks office.it was simple and I saved a lot of money. There may be other forms you need, check with whoever you are submitting the deed. You'll have additional fees, but that is up to the municipality in which you reside. It will be helpful if you have the latest deed on file. It was much easier than I thought. This is an easy website to navigate through and it is 100% legitimate. I recommend Deeds.com.

I am pleased with this electronic service in making a time sensitive deed transfer since very few options exist currently with the Covid 19 Crisis. This was the only rapid and available option to record the deed transfer and the fee was reasonable. I was able to upload my notarized and executed document and had a record number as well as the official document within 24 hours. It was simple and easy to use. Thank you deeds.com!!

The booklet is too wordy. Not concise enough for someone who is inexperienced at filling out your form. It would be nice to have a picture example of what you are talking about. When we got to the Registars office we found out they do not have a notary. Would have been nice to know before we went. The form asks for page and book which is no longer needed. So why have it on there?

Reply from Staff

Thank you, Marolyn, this is useful feedback. A completed sample is actually included with the form, and your note tells us we should make it easier to find and tie it more directly to the instructions, so we'll do that. We'll also add a "before you begin" checklist and a clearer note that the document needs to be notarized in advance, since recording offices don't provide notary service. On the book and page: that reference is required by the Utah statute this affidavit is filed under (§ 57-1-5.1) and still applies to older deeds recorded before counties moved to entry-number-only indexing around 2000. You enter whichever reference appears on your recorded deed and leave the rest blank. Appreciate you taking the time to write in.
