Legal Question in Construction Law in California
contrator dispute resolution
home repair contractor has failed to complete job after being paid in full. He says he will finish the job if I will pay for the workers labor, and he will sign a promissary note due in three months. How do I phrase it to make him personally liable, so if he does not pay I can lien his home?

Re: contrator dispute resolution
Have him sign a promissory note secured by a deed of trust on his mome; then have him sign a deed of trust and have the deed recorded. You must check his title to see how the property is actually owned; if he is amrried, his wife must also sign. Also, all signatures on the trust deed must be notarized. Best to see a real estate professional for help.
Best of Luck. If he dosen't pay, file a claim on his license bond
