Questions lenders ask
What is a construction lien waiver?
A document in which a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier gives up its right to file a mechanics lien in exchange for payment. Waivers are conditional or unconditional and cover a progress payment or a final payment, and in a number of states they are only enforceable on the state's statutory form.
How does Land Gorilla generate lien waivers?
From the draw request. Your team chooses the waiver type and payment details, and the Statutory Lien Waivers tool fills in the loan’s property and payment data with the correct statutory language for the state. Your team can review and edit the waiver, then send it for eSignature or save it to DocCenter. Waivers are tracked from creation to collection.
Which states require statutory lien waiver forms?
Requirements vary by state, and a number of states prescribe exact forms where a deviation can void the waiver. The State Compliance Library lists each state's construction lending requirements, including waiver forms and notarization rules, free for every lender.
What is the difference between a lien waiver and lien monitoring?
A lien waiver is a document a party signs to release lien rights after being paid. Lien monitoring watches public records and alerts you when a new lien is recorded against a property. You can use both in Land Gorilla: the Statutory Lien Waivers tool generates waivers inside the draw, and Lien Monitoring alerts your team, typically the day a lien is recorded.
