Organize key private-works lien records before a case review
Educational checklist only. Your responses do not determine lien eligibility or deadlines. Project facts, timing, and statutory requirements must be reviewed before action.
If you are not a laborer and do not have a direct contract with the owner, do you have records showing preliminary notice was served to the appropriate project parties?
Do you have the owner or reputed owner, the party that hired you or received your work, and any construction-lender information available?
Do you know whether the work is complete and whether the owner recorded a Notice of Completion or Cessation?
Do you have records for the claim amount, owner, work summary, hiring party, site identification, claimant address, and service information?
If a mechanics lien has already been recorded, do you have the exact recording date and a copy of the recorded claim?
California construction law deadlines are unforgiving. Start a case review with GLG’s intake team before critical rights expire.
