Can I amend a contruction Lien for the proper amount

New JerseyMechanics Lien
Anonymous Contractor

When I filed the construction lien, I included repair work and others to the lien claim amount in New Jersey which has I do not have consent in writing. I am passed the timing to re-file a new lien. Would I be able to amend the lien to just the contract price?

Yes, New Jersey does alow you amend the amount of the claim, especially if you are decreasing the amount of the claim. If you assert a claim that is improperly high becuase you do not have signed agreements for all amounts of the claim, you could end up paying the other side's attorney's fees if you do not correct the amount.
