A legally binding document, typically prepared in advance, discharges a contractor’s, subcontractor’s, or supplier’s right to file a lien against a property for services or materials provided. Formal acknowledgment by a notary public adds an extra layer of authenticity and legal validity, verifying the signatory’s identity and voluntary signature. This preemptive measure protects property owners from potential future claims.

Utilizing such a document provides several advantages. It offers clear documentation of payment and agreement between parties, reducing the risk of disputes and potential litigation. The official verification process minimizes the chance of fraudulent claims. For property owners, it ensures clear title and facilitates smoother transactions. Contractors and suppliers benefit from streamlined payment processes and stronger client relationships built on trust and transparency.
