Mechanic's Liens

A mechanic's lien is a legal claim against a property when someone has not been paid for work or materials provided for its improvement, like construction or repairs. If a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier does not get paid, they can file this lien to secure their right to payment. This means the property could be used to satisfy the debt if not paid. Mechanic's liens are a way to ensure that those who contribute to a property's value are compensated fairly, protecting their financial interests in the work they provided.
