Not a law firm, not legal advice
genlien is a self-help document preparation tool. genlien is not a law firm, is not a lawyer, and does not practice law. Nothing genlien provides is legal advice. Using genlien does not create an attorney client relationship, and no communication with genlien is privileged.
You make every decision
genlien is a form filler. You decide whether to file anything, what document to prepare, what facts to enter, and what amount to claim. genlien does not decide any legal question for you. It does not tell you whether you have a valid claim, whether a deadline applies to you, or whether filing is the right step. Those are legal judgments for you or your attorney.
No review of legal sufficiency
genlien does not review, verify, or guarantee that anything you prepare is accurate, complete, valid, legally sufficient, or fit for filing in any jurisdiction. genlien takes the information you enter and places it into a document structure. Whether the result meets the requirements of your situation is your responsibility to confirm.
State law differs and changes
Mechanics lien requirements, including deadlines, required notices, verification, service, and content, differ by state and change over time. Requirements can also turn on facts specific to your project. Verify current requirements against the state statute or with a licensed attorney before relying on any document prepared with genlien.
Overstated claims carry risk
Claiming amounts that are not actually owed can carry penalties in some states and can expose you to liability. Claim only what is actually owed to you. genlien does not assess whether an amount you enter is correct.
Preview build
This build is provided for preview only. Documents generated in this build are marked as a preview and are not intended for filing. genlien withholds filing ready output until licensed attorney review is complete for the relevant state and document.
Consider an attorney
A mechanics lien is an operative legal instrument that affects real property. If you have any doubt about your rights, deadlines, or the sufficiency of a document, consult a licensed attorney in the relevant state before you act.
