Questions answered? Let's get started!
Lien waivers are quid-pro-quo arrangements between contractors and owners, intended to induce payment from an owner in return for the contractor waiving some or all available mechanic's lien rights.
In Virginia, any right to file or enforce any mechanics' lien may be waived in whole or in part at any time by any person entitled to such lien, except that a subcontractor, lower-tier subcontractor, or material supplier may not waive or diminish his lien rights in a contract in advance of furnishing any labor, services, or materials. Va. Code 43-3(C).
Waivers fall under two broad categories of "conditional" and "unconditional," and there are two subcategories of waivers for a "partial" or "final" payment. Each type comes with benefits and risks, so take care to use the correct form for the situation.
A conditional waiver depends on the actual receipt of payment, so use it when a party pays by check, but the recipient is not sure that it will clear. Therefore, if the bank returns the check unpaid, it is still possible to claim a lien down the line. This type of waiver offers greater protection to the contractor.
Use a partial payment waiver to acknowledge a payment on account. Think of it as a receipt that shows the owner has at least paid up to that amount.
So, a conditional waiver on partial payment releases the claimant's lien rights, to an agreed-upon point, on the condition that the check clears at the bank.
When used properly, waivers are advantageous for both a contractor and owner, and can facilitate the flow of business and encourage prompt payment without any unnecessary delays.

This was such an easy process and even tho you had to pay a $15 - to me it was well worth not having to drive downtown etc or take the risk of mailing the documents (fearing that they would get lost). I'll be using this from now on...
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Quick and easy! I had previously prepared a Lady Bird deed, submitted it through Deeds.com and it was accepted/recorded by my county in just a few hours. The Deed.com $21 fee was well worth it as I saved fuel, tolls and parking costs not to mention at least 2-3 hours of my time that it would've taken to get downtown and back home!
Thanks for the feedback John. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Have an amazing day!

Came with all the paperwork that I needed plus a lot more paperwork than what I needed. Covered all the bases! The instructions were a big help. Easy fill in the blanks. Had no problem filing the paperwork afterword at the County Clerks office. Definitely worth the $20.
Thanks Robert. We appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback. Have a fantastic day!

Very easy. I copied each doc separately. Is there a way to copy the all docs at once into a folder? Thanks for being there. Rich
Thank you for the feedback Richard. Currently there is no way to download all of the documents at once but we'll definitely look into it. Have a great day!

Did not need power to "serve" contractor. All work done well, paid for, nothing more. Worth noting when things could go awry!
Thank you!

PROS: Quick communication. Completed the task expediently. CONS: Deciphering what was being referred to on the website when needing the proper classification wasn't clear. Had to delve through your unfamiliar territory. But managed. OVERALL: Got the job done swiftly and the end result was satisfactory. Will use again.
Thank you!
