Conditional vs. Unconditional Lien Waivers

Understanding the difference is crucial for protecting your lien rights and securing payment

Conditional Lien Waivers (Waiver Upon Payment)

A conditional waiver states that lien rights are waived only after the specified payment has been received and successfully cleared the bank.

Use this form when you are submitting the waiver before you have actually received the payment (i.e., you are sending it with your invoice).

Unconditional Lien Waivers (Waiver Upon Signing)

An unconditional waiver states that lien rights are waived immediately upon signing, regardless of whether payment has been received or cleared.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Only sign an Unconditional Waiver if you have already received and confirmed the payment has cleared your account. Signing prematurely releases your lien rights with no guarantee of payment.

A lien waiver is a legally binding document used in construction that acknowledges the receipt of a specific payment and formally waives the signer’s future right to file a mechanics lien against the property for the funds covered by that payment.

When should I use a Conditional vs. Unconditional waiver?

Conditional waivers should be used when you are submitting the waiver before you have received the funds. Unconditional waivers should only be used once you have fully received, deposited, and confirmed the payment has successfully cleared your bank account.
