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 point. A final waiver covers the entire balance. If the waiver is conditional, it is only valid if the payment is made or clears the bank. Unconditional waivers become effective when they are signed, regardless of payment status.

Thus, a Partial Unconditional Lien Waiver is appropriate when a partial or progress payment has been made and the claimant agrees to give up the right to claim a lien for that partial payment amount, but there is no concern about the payment clearing the bank. Note, however, that a written waiver of construction lien rights signed by a claimant requires no consideration and is valid and binding, whether signed before or after the materials or services were contracted for or furnished. Neb. Rev. Stat. 52-144(1). Ambiguities in a written waiver are construed against the claimant. Id.

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 signs the document in front of a notary, then submits the completed waiver to the recording office for the county where the property is situated.

The product is as advertised. I was unable to navigate this process because It is complicated and I am concerned about doing it wrong. The law is written in stupid language to make it difficult for all and keep the layering business going. Its a solid form but did not work for me. Thanks Chris

Love the ability to e-record a single document as a private citizen. Other companies only want to do business with large volume filers like title companies and attorneys. e-recording was super easy and so efficient. Got confirmation of recording from county clerk less than one hour after submission.

The forms were immediately available for download, which was nice. However, I was not impressed by the lack of several features: 1) there was no way to edit set text in the form, such as where it says you should consult an attorney. That is not necessary for recording the deed and I wanted to deleted it, but could not. 2) Also, under the "Notes" section, there is a limited area to write; I tried adding a fuller explanation of something, but the form would not accept or include it when I printed the final document. The form may do the job, but it's not very sophisticated or elegant.
