Questions crews ask
Which lien waiver do I sign?
Two questions decide it. Is this a progress payment or the final one? Has the money cleared your bank? Not cleared: conditional. Cleared: unconditional. That gives four waivers, and only one fits each payment.
What's the difference between a conditional and an unconditional waiver?
A conditional waiver only takes effect once the payment clears. An unconditional waiver gives up your lien rights for that payment the moment you sign it, paid or not.
Which states have statutory lien waiver forms?
Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, Texas, Utah, Wyoming. In those states, use the statute's form. Everywhere else, any clear waiver that names the job, the amount and the through date works.
Can a GC make me sign an unconditional waiver before I'm paid?
They can ask. Don't. Offer the conditional waiver instead; it protects them once the payment clears, and it protects you if it doesn't.
