Legal Question in Construction Law in California

Re: Mechanic Lien

If the mecnanic's lien is more than 90 days old with the contractor, supplier, etc.. suing to enforce it. it has expired by operation of law. A letter should be sent to the contractor informing him that the lien must be released as it has expired. If he fails to do so you must petetion the court to expunge the lien.

Please do not hesitate to contact my office for further help.

Re: Mechanic Lien

By paying the debt, if you owe it. However, the holder of the lien is required to timely pursue and perfect his lien claim. If he hasn't done so correctly, you could demand he remove the lien. That doesn't mean loses he right to sue you and collect for the debt though.
