Questions answered? Let's get started!

Construction liens are governed under the Nebraska Construction Lien Act, found at Sections 52-125 to 52-159 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes.

The term "waiver" means a voluntary surrender of a legal right. In this case, the person granting the waiver gives up the right to seek a construction lien for all or part of the amount due on an improvement to real property. This assurance is often enough to encourage the other party to pay the outstanding debt.

As set forth by Neb. Rev. Stat. 52-144(2), a written waiver relinquishes all construction lien rights of the claimant as to the improvement to which the waiver relates unless the waiver is specifically limited to a particular lien right or a particular portion of the services or materials furnished. A waiver of lien rights does not affect any contract rights of the claimant otherwise existing. 52-144(3). Acceptance of a promissory note or other evidence of debt is not a waiver of lien rights unless the note or other instrument expressly so declares. 52-144(4).

Expanding on the statute above, Nebraska law generally recognizes four types of lien waivers. These include partial and final waivers. Each waiver can be conditional or unconditional. A partial waiver covers a progress payment and the waiver only applies to that payment amount, range of dates, or another agreed-upon checkpoint, while a final waiver covers the entire balance. If the waiver is conditional, it is only valid when the payment clears the bank or is otherwise confirmed, while unconditional waivers become effective when they are signed, regardless of payment status.

Thus, a final conditional waiver is appropriate only when a final payment is made for all money owed to the claimant for providing labor, services, materials or equipment, but payment is not immediately verifiable (meaning the check has not yet cleared or there are doubts about payment clearing the bank). This reduces some of the risk on the claimant, as the conditional nature allows some recourse if the payment fails.

A valid waiver identifies the parties, the property where the claimant performed the work or improvement, and any other information necessary for the specific situation. The claimant must sign the document in front of a notary, then submit the completed waiver to the recording office for the county where the property is situated.

The Transfer on Death Deed form package was very good. But like anything, could use some improvements. There is not enough space to fill more than one beneficiary with any level of additional detail like "as his sole and separate property" The area for the legal description could be a bit bigger and potentially fit many legal descriptions. Or it could be made to simply say "See Exhibit A" as is likely necessary for most anyway. The guide should indicate what "homestead property" means so the user doesn't have to research the legal definition. (which turns out to be obvious, at least in my state, if you live there, it's your homestead.) It would be helpful if an "Affidavit of Death" form were included in the package for instances where the current deed hasn't been updated to reflect a widowed owner as the sole owner before recording with only the one signature.

The instructions and example for filling out the form were very clear and detailed making the whole process fairly easy. An attorney I talked to wanted $200 to fill out this simple form. I haven't tried to file it yet but I will let you know if there are any issues. Really a great deal. $20 vs $200.
