Re: Constest of Lien

Florida Statute 713.22 provides that a notice of contest of lien can be filed by "an owner, or the owner's agent or attorney" but then the form's signature block provides for "(owner or attorney)" to sign. Therefore, I would recommend having the owner sign. Good luck, and if you need a form for a notice of contest of lien then, go to our website and click on our forms, and download it for free. Good luck,
