Is there a step by step guide to help answer each question on a mechanics lien?

To make sure I'm filling out each section of the mechanics lien properly with the correct information, is there a step by step guide that explains each question and what goes in each section to answer all of the questions? This is for form A365. Thank you! If you're not a lawyer, some of the terminology is confusing and I don't want to input the wrong information where it would make my lien become invalidated

I am not aware of a step by step guide. You may want to use a New York lien service like speedy lien. It is less costly than hiring an attorney.

Greetings. It appears you would like to draft and file your own lien. Lienors should be mindful that a lien is a legal document that should be drafted with care. Errors could have serious ramifications. For example, our article addresses an instance where a GC included lost profits in its lien and was hit with an "exaggerated lien" claim by the property owner. https://www.paulosepllc.com/post/lost-profits-and-the-exaggerated-lien. It is best to have an experienced individual draft a lien, whether they be an experienced employee within the organization, a lien servicing provider, or an attorney, especially if the lien involves significant money. Good luck.
