Do I need the Homeowners full name to file a Preliminary Notice?

We file Preliminary Notices on all of our jobs and always get the Homeowners name even if we are working with their contractor. We are about to start a job but the contractor only provided the Homeowner's last name. To be exact he sent "____ Family Trust". Is this enough information to send the Preliminary Notice?

If the "John Doe 1994 Family Trust" is the owner of the project, then listing the ___ Family Trust as the owner should suffice. You should verify the owner information you get from the GC by, for example, getting a copy of the prime contract which would disclose the full owner information. The Civil Code requires a GC to provide preliminary notice information to any potential claimant seeking such information. ---CN
