what happens if our customer has a different template of a lien waiver that does not reflect the new lien waiver bill that was passed. in other words, is there a standardized template or can subcontractors essentially customize it
The lien waiver must be in substantial conformance with the form set forth in the statute. If the lien waiver varies materially, then an argument could be made (a good one I believe) that the lien waiver is not binding on the party signing it. It would not waive the rights referenced.
