A contractor has filed a lien on your property. What is a lien and what can you do about it?
Hi. My name is Dan Wilmot. I’m a real estate and business attorney in Fircrest, Washington
and I’d like to address that question. A lien is a piece of paper that a contractor
files claiming that he has not been paid for labor, materials, supplies that’s he’s
delivered to an improvement. You may have defenses to a lien that’s filed on your
property. If a lien has been recorded on your property, there’s things that we can do
like filing an action to force the removal of the lien. The contractor has the burden
of proof regarding the validity of the lien. If he’s not able to establish the validity,
the lien can removed immediately. My name is Dan Wilmot. I handle these types of claims
all the time. Pick up the phone and give me a call. Thanks for watching and have a great
day.
