About this template
This legal template refers to a legal document specific to the state of Massachusetts, known as a "Partial Waiver and Subordination of Mechanic's Lien." A mechanic's lien is a legal claim that can be placed on a property by individuals or entities who have provided labor or material for construction or improvement projects but have not been paid. This particular template provides a means for these claimants to partially waive their lien rights and agree to subordinate their claim to other existing or future liens on the property.

In situations where the property owner needs additional financing or wants to sell the property, having existing mechanic's liens can complicate matters. By using this template, the claimant can voluntarily waive a portion of their lien rights in exchange for partial payment, while subordinating their remaining claim to other liens. This agreement allows the property owner to move forward with their plans for the property and provides the claimant with a partial satisfaction of their debt.

The template typically includes details about the project, the claimant's identity, and the amount owed, as well as the property owner's information. It also outlines the specific lien rights being waived and the remaining rights being subordinated. Additionally, it may include provisions regarding the distribution of any proceeds resulting from the sale or refinancing of the property and may address potential contingencies such as the claimant receiving full satisfaction of their debt in the future.

Overall, this legal template aims to establish a mutual understanding and agreement between the claimant and property owner in order to address unresolved financial matters related to a mechanic's lien. Whether it is for partial payment, subordination of lien rights, or both, this document serves as a legally binding agreement that protects the interests of both parties involved.
