Do you know where your lien stands in line?

Priority determinations have significant outcomes for unpaid contractors and suppliers intent on filing a mechanics lien. In the construction field, mechanics lien priority over other encumbrances levied on real estate are paramount, because it dictates whether the lien is likely to be paid. The effectiveness of the mechanics lien in protecting a claimant’s right to payment depends on the lien’s position compared to other lienholders and secured creditors in the underlying property.

Much like airport boarding procedures where priority seating goes to the airline’s exclusive members and the remainder is distributed to the masses on a first come first served basis, mechanics liens priority determines who gets served first. Thus, a race to be first is the logical outcome.

This brief article will provide necessary guidance to contractors and suppliers who are unsure of the legal impact of their lien and likelihood of getting paid when other encumbrances exist on the underlying property. Know where your lien stands in line.
