Thank you for your excellent explanation. One question... Non-regulated statute if I'm not mistaken, it wouldn't be illegal for me to add my attorney's fees, interest, premiums, etc... Since it's not required, is there any backlash to doing this or should I not itemize the charges?

As noted, there are limits to what can be properly included in a lien claim. Since a Notice of Intent to Lien is not required in Minnesota, it is more akin to a general demand letter. While a demand should be based in reality and what is properly owed, there is no rule that says a voluntarily non-required document must itemize the amounts due. Or, if the amounts are itemized, that the "notice of intent" must state that the potential lien would be filed for all amounts due rather than stating that there is a total amount due, and that if payment is not made, a lien will be filed to secure the amounts properly subject to a lien claim.
