Construction liens are governed under the Nebraska Construction Lien Act, found at Sections 52-125 to 52-159 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes.
In order to file for a construction lien, the claimant must correctly follow the steps set out by state law. In Nebraska, the first step is to serve the owner or person who contracted with the owner with a Notice of Right to Assert Lien. At any time after a claimant has entered into the contract under which he or she may claim a lien under the Nebraska Construction Lien Act, he or she may give notice of the right to assert a lien to the contracting owner. Neb. Rev. Stat. 52-135(1). The Notice lets the owner know that someone is providing material, labor, or machinery on their land and that person may have a right to file a lien.
The notice of the right to assert a lien must be in writing, state that it is a notice of a right to assert a lien against real estate for services or materials furnished in connection with improvement of the real estate, and contain: (a) The name of the claimant and the address to which the owner or others may send communications to the claimant; (b) The name and address of the person with whom the claimant contracted; (c) The name of the owner against whom a lien is or may be claimed; (d) A general description of the services or materials provided or to be provided; (e) A description sufficient to identify the real estate against which the lien is or may be claimed; (f) A statement that the claimant is entitled to record a lien; and (g) The amount unpaid to the claimant for services or materials, whether or not due, or if no amount is fixed by the contract, a good faith estimate of the amount designated as an estimate. Id. Finally, the Notice must include the following statement in type no smaller than that used in providing the other information required: "Warning. If you did not contract with the person giving this notice, any future payments you make in connection with this project may subject you to double liability."
In addition to the statutory content requirements, the form must meet any state and local standards for recorded documents. File the completed Notice with the recording office for the county where the subject property is located.

I received prompt attention to the package I submitted. It was submitted promptly the recorders office with a quick turn around for the recorded document. Overall a very pleasant experience.

I couldn't be more pleased or more impressed with the e-recording services I received from deeds.com and from my service representative, KVH. I was able to record documents in approximately half a dozen different counties easily and seamlessly, with a minimum of fuss. The turn around time was incredibly fast. The pricing was incredibly reasonable. I know I have alternatives because, in the past, I have used a competitor service for my recording needs. I won't do that again -- this was an exceptional experience. Thank you for your help!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Thank you Kathryn, we really appreciate that.

The documents themselves are fine and the information provided with them is helpful. I find the actual processing of the documents, however, to be difficult particularly once the document has been saved. First, I note that the box for the date only allows entry of the last 2 digits of the year. Unfortunately, my download only allows me to enter one of the 2 digits required. When I delete it repeatedly, it eventually allows both digits to be entered but puts them in extremely small text and in superscrypt. I have not found a solution to this problem and am not sure the deed can even be recorded with this problem. Another problem is that if you try to revise the document after you have saved it the curser goes to the end of the line after each key entry. This means that there basically is no way to efficiently save the document for reworking later since you will have to delete everything you have entered in the text box unless you only need to make a single keystroke change or are willing to replace the curser after each entry. Try that with a long property description! Please note that I am using a Mac to prepare my documents and perhaps this is part of an "incompatibility problem". However, I didn't see a disclaimer regarding Mac use and so would expect the documents to perform correctly. Overall, I give the program a "2 star" rating because I am experiencing significant difficulties in entering dates in the documents even before saving them and because saving your work for later revision appears to be basically unworkable.
Thank you for your feedback Thomas, we appreciate you being specific about the issues you encountered. Adobe and Mac have a fairly long history of issues working together.

This is a very helpful site when you don't know exactly what to do. Very clear in explaining the wording on deeds. Thank you it made a big difference knowing the right way to do things.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

As good as any of the rip off document services on the internet. Received the documents through download, were as described. Not as cheap as driving to the courthouse and getting them for free, but easier than doing so.
Thank you, Pat. We’re glad the documents were as described and easy to access. Just to clarify — Johnson County doesn’t provide a Transfer on Death Deed form. We make the correct, recordable version available, and any required supplemental forms are free on our site, with or without purchase.

Exactly what I needed and VERY fair price. I paid $19.97 for what a local attorney wanted $200 to do. I filled out the form using the line by line guide and filed it at the court house today. Absolutely no problems.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

My sale is a land contract and it is complicated. We were thinking we'd have to get an attorney. Your site is very thorough and helpful. We will still have an attorney look over our final papers --and we are still waiting on my deed from the bank to finalize our input. Had several questions, but they seemed to be answered as I went along. The actual process of downloading and saving and having a link went very smoothly. Thank you.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
