Construction Lien Law
Many property owners are unaware that construction workers could put a lien on the property if the contractor does not pay them for their services in full. If your contractor fails to pay the workers he hires and sends to work on your house, you could owe the money to them even if you pay your contractor in full. This situation falls under the heading of construction lien law.
At The Hershewe (pronounced Hersh-way) Law Firm, we are well versed in construction lien law, as well as all facets of construction law, and win cases for clients in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and other states nationally.
Construction liens could create forced sale or foreclosure
If a construction lien is filed against your property, the money you receive in the sale of your home could go to satisfy that construction lien. This includes the cost of labor and materials your contractor arranged for during the construction work at your property.
Sometimes called a mechanics lien, a construction lien can result in the following:
- Forced sale of your home to pay for the debts
- Foreclosure of your home to pay for the debts
- A cloud on the title of your property
- Double payment by you for the work on your home
- Inability to borrow against your property or refinance
