Securing a Nebraska Construction Lien
Construction liens are governed under the Nebraska Construction Lien Act, found at Sections 52-125 to 52-159 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes.
A lien is a legal right or interest in property, held by a creditor until the debtor pays the amount due on account. Construction liens are often used to persuade an owner or other party to pay a contractor the balance owed for work on real property. For instance, if a contractor who completed a project is waiting for payment, a lien might make sense. Because liens prevent an owner from selling or refinancing a property (or make it difficult to do so), they offer an effective remedy for contractors and other eligible parties.
A claimant may record a lien which shall be signed by the claimant and state: (a) The real estate subject to the lien, with a description thereof sufficient for identification; (b) The name of the person against whose interest in the real estate a lien is claimed; (c) The name and address of the claimant; (d) The name and address of the person with whom the claimant contracted; (e) A general description of the services performed or to be performed or materials furnished or to be furnished for the improvement and the contract price thereof; (f) The amount unpaid, whether or not due, to the claimant for the services or materials or if no amount is fixed by the contract a good faith estimate of the amount designated as an estimate; and (g) The time the last services or materials were furnished or if that time has not yet occurred, an estimate of the time. Neb. Rev. Stat. 52-147(1).
In Nebraska, construction liens are recorded with the county recorder's office within the bounds of the county where the property is located. A recorded lien remains enforceable for two (2) years after its recordation. Neb. Rev. Stat. 52-140. Note that in addition to the statutory content requirements, the lien form must meet all state and local standards for recorded documents.

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.

I'm not too bright and I made a mess of things when I tried to create my own deed. It was lucky that I found the forms here after so many of my personal failures. It's good that the pros know what they are doing.
Such kind words Michael, thank you.

The DEEDs website is very easy to navigate and find the required documents. I have not yet had an opportunity to review the documents I purchased and downloaded. That is the reason I have assigned a rating of four stars. I fully hope that can raise my rating to five stars after I've used those documents.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Excellent service, great feedback and recommendations by the deed preparer, and I really appreciate the personalized service. The website is amazing, everything is well thought out, and all messages are saved, clear and easy to read. I wish my website was so easy to navigate!
Seriously, the person who worked on my account is awesome. They made recommendations about what to include and what not to include. They didn't make me feel dumb for asking questions about out-of-state service and filing procedures, and I will be using Deeds.com exclusively on my cases. Five stars !
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

You should add a button to cancel a package. I uploaded a document for e-recording, but wanted to cancel because I got a more clear copy.
Thank you!

Very good information. Easy access and easy to download. All the forms needed for TOD to be notarized and recorded with the county office. Much better than working with a Trust and the expense of lawyers, especially when several parties are involved and the owner of said property knows exactly to whom the property should go. Having forms and instructions available for the public to have their wishes recorded and confirmed makes handling final planning much easier and prevents family members from having the unnecessary task of going through court to solve property distribution issues. Thank you for this site and the forms you provide. I will recommend Deeds.com to those I know who are making final plans.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
