Does the conditional lien waiver need to match the statutory forms?

Georgia

This pertains to the new lien law changes for Georgia that take effect January 1, 2021.

The statutory language says it has to substantially comply. And so we tend to not change the words, but occasionally we do change words depending upon the specific nature of the project and the risk involved. Another example is currently the code says that that notice language, which says you shall be conclusively deemed to have been paid in full, currently is required on the face of the lien waiver, which means the front page. We've removed that. Similarly, the all caps have been removed by the end of January 1st. The new lien waivers will not have to be in all caps. So we’ve tried to change the format a little bit to make them easier to read.
