Notice to Owner -- Preliminary Notice in Kentucky

Most states require lien claimants to serve a preliminary (pre-lien) notice on a property owner or other party to ensure all interested parties have notification of who is involved in a construction job and who may have a claim to a mechanic's lien. In Kentucky, the Notice to Owner document fulfills this purpose.

No person who has not contracted directly with the owner or his agent is eligible to acquire a lien unless he notifies the owner (or his authorized agent) of the property to be held liable, in writing, within seventy-five (75) days on claims amounting to less than $1,000 and one hundred twenty (120) days on claims in excess of $1,000 after the last item of material or labor is furnished, of his intention to hold the property liable and the amount for which he will claim a lien. K.R.S. 376.010(3).

It shall be sufficient to prove that the notice was mailed to the last known address of the owner of the property upon which the lien is claimed, or to his duly authorized agent within the county in which the property to be held liable is located. Id.

The Notice to Owner document contains the following information: 1) Name and address of the potential lien claimant; 2) Address of the subject property; 3) Name of the owner; 4) Value of materials or labor furnished; and 5) Date of last furnishing. The document also contains a Certificate of Delivery detailing the person serving the notice, the method of service, and date of service. The Certificate must be signed to affirm service was made in the described manner.

This article is provided for information purposes only and should not be relied on as a substitute for the advice from a legal professional. If you have questions about preliminary notice, or any other issues related to liens in Kentucky, please speak with a licensed attorney.

Forms used, created quitclaim deed that the county accepted without a second look (turns out they see deeds.com forms regularly via erecording and in person). Will be back for any real estate related forms I need and they carry. Will always be my first stop. Also, will use erecording next time, mad I didn't see it this time.

Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

How about a single button zip download of the files displayed instead of downloading them one at a time?

I accidentally ordered the wrong deed package. Was looking for a quit claim deed and got a trustee deed. I immediately emailed the company, nothing back from them. I would like to exchange my purchase.

Thank you for your feedback. We replied to your message on December 20th at 2:05 pm, the reply was as follows: As a one time courtesy we have canceled your order/payment for the Trustee Deed document.

They must have busy when I applied. The screen said it should be done in under10 mins unless heavier traffic. I was a little nervous because of a time deadline. It was completed in 45 mins and for under $30 it was worth every penny to have my deed details at my fingertips. So I give it a 5 on ease of use and quick handling. You can get it done less expensively, but great in a time crunch.

First time user and was directed there from a search on my home state for a state form.
The downloaded form was complete with instructions and sample filled out form.
I was not happy about the cost for the form, but it did the job.
