Timeline on Prelim notice.

In a preliminary notice to the owner, if it is sent within 20 days form the start of work; but after the work has been completed, does this negate the owners responsibility as they did not get a chance to send a stop notice? With that in question would you not have the right to go after a lien if the owner never had the opportunity to decline the work?

If I understand your question correctly, an owner is still on the hook IF the labor or materials have been furnished and incorporated into the project. Of course, there may be issues with the prelim itself that should be evaluated. --CN (NOTE: The information presented here is general in nature and is not intended nor should be construed as legal advice for any particular case or client.
