Mechanic's liens are a common during home improvements. A general contractor or anyone providing services to improve a property can file a lein before starting work. It is done to protect their rights with the homeowner and ensures that they will be paid for work rendered. The problems start typically when the lein is forgotten and the filer does not remove the lein from the properties title. Depending on state laws whcih vary the procedure for resolving these can be different. These issues can be resolved but can become time consuming and delay the final sale of the property.
