Executing a Final Lien Waiver in Tennessee

"Waiver" is a legal term which means giving up a right. A waiver can be written or oral. It can also be expressed by a formal agreement or implied through conduct of the parties. When discussing mechanic's liens, a waiver refers to a written document granted by a lien claimant to a property owner. This document usually confirms a partial or final payment and states that the lien claimant is waiving a right to claim a lien for the partial or full amount. Waivers help ease feelings of distrust between parties dealing at arms-length and give peace of mind for the laborer that he or she will get paid and for the property owner that his or her property won't be burdened by any mechanic's liens.

In Tennessee, lien waivers are governed under 66-11-124 of the Tennessee Property Code. Lien waivers in Tennessee must be explicit and are never implied. The acceptance by the lienor of a note or notes for all or any part of the amount of the lienor's claim shall not constitute a waiver of the lienor's lien, unless expressly so agreed in writing, nor shall it in any way affect the period for serving or recording the notice of lien under this chapter. Tenn. Prop. Code 66-11-124(a). Further, any contract term that purports to waive any right of lien under this chapter is void and unenforceable as against the public policy of this state. Tenn. Prop. Code 66-11-124(b). In fact, if a contractor solicits any person to sign a contract requiring the person to waive a right of lien, the person shall notify the state board for licensing contractors of that fact. Tenn. Prop. Code 66-11-124(b)(2)(A). Upon receiving the information, the executive director of the board shall notify the contractor within a reasonable time after receiving the information that the contract is against the public policy of the state and in violation of this section.

Use a final lien waiver only when the responsible party makes full payment on the balance due. For instance, if the entire contract is for $100,000 and the owner makes a $10,000 progress payment, a partial waiver is appropriate because it allows the contractor to retain lien rights for the remaining amount owed. If a full and final payment of the entire $100,000 or the final $10,000 payment is tendered, then a final lien waiver is appropriate.

A valid waiver is in the form of an affidavit (sworn statement). It identifies the parties, the location of the work, relevant dates and amounts paid, and any other information necessary for the specific situation. Record the completed and notarized document in the records of the county where the property is situated.

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.

Document was well formatted with the extra help of an example and useful instructions. I ended up with a better warranty deed than I was getting on another website. Worth the small price.

I downloaded the Lady Bird deed. The process was quick and easy to download. Just select your county, fill out the form. You will need the property description from your original deed. In my case I had to go downtown Wayne County (Detroit). (Make an appt online). 1st you will have to get the property tax certified to ensure all taxes are paid to date (5th floor at the Wayne County Treasurer office). Give them the form you just filled out and they will stamp certified $5. After that take the form to the Register of Deeds (7th floor) appt needed. $18. Make sure it is properly notarized and all signatures completed. Once approved, they will scan it, stamp it, give it back with a receipt and mail a copy also. All Done. Worked beautifully. My co worker go a lawyer and paid over $250. I just used deeds.com and total for forms and going downtown with notarizing was less than $40 Yea!

Thank you so much for providing simple but very significant documents one can basically do PRO SE, without any additional huge counsel expenses and yet be legitimate enough to officially file them as state law allows and extends to basic documents processing and filings. Thank you so much for the professional documents provided as they do the proper job. MP
