I would recommend that you advise the insurer under your policy of title insurance purchased in connection with the sale of the property.

Re: Notice of Lien and Foreclosure of Mechanic's lien

The mechanic's lien area is specifically guided by statute. The time limits and requirements imposed are very strictly adhered to buy the court. You need to see an attorney immediately. I have dealt with mechanic's lien law both from teaching it, practicing line the area as well as editing certain real estate volumes on the subject. Yours is not necessarily an unusual situation but the timing seems very peculiar. You must pay attention to this immediately and seek an attorney was specialized in real estate and hopefully his dealt with mechanic's lien law. Additionally, under the circumstances I would contact the title company as this might law also be covered for the fans cost purposes through your title insurance because of the timing. That also could be coordinated by the attorney. Good luck you. if you wish to consult with me 925-945-6000
