Questions answered? Let's get started!

Mechanic's liens are governed under Chapter 447 of the New Hampshire Statutes.

The Notice of Intention to File a Mechanic's Lien shows a property owner or other party that the contractor is prepared to file for a lien if payment is not made on an outstanding balance for work completed.

The Notice should be directed to the property owner, lessor, guarantor, or other party responsible for any lien placed on the property. The document contains the name and contact information of the lien claimant, information about the subject property including a legal description, an itemized list of all materials delivered or labor furnished to date, and a breakdown of costs due. As an additional persuasive measure, include a draft copy of the petition for ex parte attachment to show the recipient the contractor is fully prepared to file the petition in court.

This was such a money saver. I was told by someone at the courthouse that I had to have a lawyer prepare the paper work for my mom. They stated that family members couldn't prepare the papers. I was hopeful when I found that I could prepare the survivorship affidavit on Deeds. I was able to prepare everything myself and had no issues today when at the courthouse for all the changes. Thank you!

Laborious process to gain access; need to indicate PRIINT when complete and inform that if page is backspaced, entered info disappears, necessitating starting all over again. There is only one “A” provision, when some documents have several more. Space is too limited in some instances to provide what is necessary for recording. Thank you
