Hello My Question? I filed a Preliminary lien on a few projects, but may need a Preliminary Claimants Notice.

MinnesotaPreliminary Notice

Hello My Question? I'm a subcontractor I finished my work, and I filed a Preliminary lien on a few projects, and just discovered that I will need to provide a Preliminary Claimants Notice, so my question is will the Preliminary be Sufficient work, or is it to late to file a Preliminary Claimants Notice, Also I already Filed my Intent to Lien Notice and I just Finished filing My Lien Notice Please confirm. Thanks.

You use terms in your question that are not common in Minnesota mechanics’ lien law, so it’s difficult to understand whether your question might apply to contractual obligations with your upstream contractor or something to do with collecting money owed to you. Minnesota does not have a “Preliminary Lien” nor does it have a “Preliminary Claimants Notice” as requirements in its mechanics’ lien law. Minnesota doesn’t require an Intent to Lien Notice, though many other states do.

My recommendation is that you contact an attorney knowledgeable with Minnesota mechanics’ lien laws to review what you’re trying to do and have done. Minnesota law is very date specific so delays in getting this done correctly could jeopardize your lien rights.
