When releasing a mechanic's lien on a property what documents are necessary? Do they need to be served? Do they need to be certified?

Generally, a mechanics lien release won't require the same service requirements that the mechanics lien claim. Still, it's probably a good idea to provide a copy of the lien release to all interested parties. Regarding notarization - mechanics lien releases should likely be notarized - particularly if the lien claim, itself, required notarization. But, for more specific guidance, it'd be wise to consult with a Connecticut construction lawyer.
