Question 1

What does the mechanics lien extractor read?

Accepted Answer

The filing or claim number, the filing date, the lienor name and address, the property owner name and address, the property description and legal description, the general contractor name, the work description, and the total amount claimed with its currency.

Question 2

Is a lien the same as a lien waiver?

Accepted Answer

No, they are opposite sides. A lien is a claim or encumbrance a contractor, laborer, or supplier files against property for unpaid work or materials. A lien waiver is the signed release of those lien rights, given in exchange for payment. For the release document use the lien waiver extractor.

Question 3

Which claim, status, and deadline fields come out?

Accepted Answer

The lien type (enum, such as mechanics, materialmen, laborer, or subcontractor), the payment status (enum), the amount paid, the balance due, the work start and completion dates, the notice required date, whether notice of non-payment was served (boolean), the jurisdiction, the filing office county, and the governing law each come back as fields.

Question 4

Are the work, materials, and payments returned as tables?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The work items table returns each item with its description, date, quantity, unit rate, and amount; the materials supplied table returns each material with its supplier, date, quantity, and price; and the payment history table returns each payment date, amount, method, and balance after payment.

Question 5

Does the tool give legal advice?

No. It only reports the fields written on the lien as structured data. It does not advise on whether the lien is valid, how to enforce or discharge it, or how to draft one. PDF only, up to 10MB and 100 pages; processed for extraction only and not retained.
