According to the Massachusetts mechanic's lien procedure, a Statement of Account is the second document that must be filed.
The time for filing depends upon whether certain other filings have been made. For instance, if a Notice of Substantial Completion has been filed or recorded, the Statement of Account must be filed ninety (90) days after the filing or recording of the Notice of Substantial Completion. M.G.L. Ch. 254, 8.
If a Notice of Termination has been filed or recorded, the Statement of Account must be filed one hundred and twenty (120) days after the filing or recording of the Notice of Termination. Id.
Otherwise, the Statement of Account must be filed one hundred and twenty (120) days after the last day a person who is entitled to enforce a lien under a written contract or anyone claiming by, through or under him, performed or furnished labor or material or both labor and materials or furnished rental equipment, appliances or tools, files or records in the registry of deeds in the county or district where the land lies a statement, giving a just and true account of the amount due or to become due him, with all just credits, a brief description of the property, and the names of the owners set forth in the notice of contract. Id.
In addition, liens for design professions or their subcontracts will be dissolved unless a like statement is filed or recorded at the appropriate registry of deeds within thirty (30) days after the last day that a notice of contract may be filed or recorded. Id.
A lien for labor only will be dissolved unless a like statement, giving the names of the owner of record at the time the work was performed or at the time of filing the statement, is filed or recorded in the appropriate registry of deeds within the ninety (90) days provided to claim a lien. Id.
Nothing prohibits the filing or recording of a statement under this section prior to the filing or recording of the notices of substantial completion or termination. Id.
The Statement of Accounts contains the following information: 1) names and addresses of the parties to the written contract; 2) owner's name and address; 3) address of subject property; 4) a legal property description of the subject property; and 5) the original contract amount as well as all change orders, amounts in dispute, amounts received, and amount currently due.

The process was fast and efficient. I did get a bit confused after entering info for my package but soon realized I had completed this part of the process and only needed to leave the page and wait for review of the document and then the invoice. It was pretty simple. After payment of the invoice I was notified that the document had been submitted. A few hours later I received notice that the document was recorded by the city. It was fast!
We are motivated by your feedback to continue delivering excellence. Thank you!

The guide I needed was very easy to understand and the template was easy to complete. I had a property attorney review the deed before I had it registered and she was impressed. She said she couldn't have written it better herself! Definitely worth the money instead of paying high dollar attorney fees for a simple task.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

Great resource! Wish you could expand to more than just deeds, but then you would have to rename it. :)

The forms were very easy to use. However, the Mercer County cover page is an older version. You can find the recent version on the county website.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It turned out that I was able to search for what I needed on the local county website, which is what your site suggested be tried. I was impressed with your honesty and practical instructions for searches your site gave. I'm pretty sure I'll be back.
Thank you for your feedback James. Glad to hear we were able to steer you in the right direction.

Forms appear to be most current and instructions clear. Inserting grantor/grantee information onto form a bit "clunky" however no major issues. I will be using services again.
Thank you!

As always, amazing forms and information. A must have for anyone doing it themselves. Everything is available to make it happen but if you need a lot of hand holding you might want to look into a more full service option.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
