Preserving Lien Rights After Sale of Residential Property
When residential property is involved, lien claimants in Missouri must take precautions to ensure that their lien rights survive, even if the owner transfers the property by sale. Filing and serving a document called a "Notice of Lien Rights" will protect those rights.
Under R.S.M.O. 429.016(1), any person or entity who seeks to retain the right to assert a mechanic's lien against residential real property must record a notice of rights in the office of the recorder of deeds for the county in which the property is located, not less than five (5) calendar days prior to the intended date of closing stated in a notice of intended sale.
Failure to record the notice effectively waives and forfeits any right to assert a mechanic's lien against the property. R.S.M.O. 429.016(2). The claimant retains all other rights and remedies allowed by law to collect payment for work, labor, and materials. Id. So, all hope is not lost for those who miss the deadline, but they have limited their available options.
If a notice of rights is recorded after the owner's conveyance (sale) of the property to a bona fide purchaser for value (someone who buys without notice of a claimant's lien rights), it will not be effective to preserve the claimant's mechanic's lien rights to the property. R.S.M.O. 429.016(3).
The notice of rights must contain the following information as mandated by R.S.M.O. 429.016(8): (1) date of the document; (2) owner's name; (3) lien claimant's name including address; (4) a legal description of the property; (5) name of the person contracting with the claimant for work; and (6) names of persons performing work for or supplying materials to the claimant.
By properly completing and filing the notice in a timely manner, claimants can confirm that their lien rights are protected, even if the property changes hands during the time the lien is in place.
This article is provided for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice or relied upon as a substitute for speaking with a legal professional. If you have any questions about preserving lien rights if the owner sells his or her property, or any other issues related to liens in Missouri, please speak with a qualified 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.
Thanks for the kind words James, glad we could help. Look forward to seeing you again.

Wasn’t what I expected
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.

Excellent! I was worried because I saw some negative reviews online but I really needed an e-recording company and they completed everything perfectly. I will most definitely recommend them and use them again in the future. All the staff was super nice and very helpful.

Deeds.com recorded documents for me without any issue. It's a good service and provides a lot of assistance on its web site. However, I asked for a printed receipt (i.e. an pdf copy of one), but after a staff provided me with an obvious answer, they simply ignored my follow up requests. I also asked a simple formatting question that they should have been able to answer; instead, they passed the buck and referred me to the recorder, which currently is a very time-consuming venture. They also have no telephone number for any issue. Generally, the service saves me the time and effort of physically recording a document, but when you think about $19.00 per recording seems like a steep price for the services rendered.
We appreciate your feedback Frankie. We are glad that we were able to submit your documents as requested. Sorry to hear that we let you down in other areas. We do encourage you to shop around for services that may better suit your needs. Have a wonderful day.

Ordered the fill in the blank form for a deed. Very professional looking but more importantly, correct for my recording office. It was recorded with no question. The guide was a big help in completed the deed.
Great to hear Dretha. We appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback. Have a wonderful day!

I was in despair as I needed to file two (2) very important documents with the County. Due to Covid the office was closed and my only recourse was to E-Fie with a service provider. I was fortunate enough to hear about Deeds.com. They were specific, courteous, patient and most of all productive. My documents will take awhile for the final filing but that is because the County happens to have a slow turn around time. Otherwise, I am now relieved that this part is over. Thank you Deeds.com. You are awesome.
Thank you for the kinds words Beatrice.

I liked the software, it's very easy to use. Once it's saved as a .pdf document on your computer, the source document is lost when you log out. I wish it could be saved and then edited on their site later instead of having to create a new document from scratch each time.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
