How long does a Lien last in WA state? We have filed our lien and the owner is working to get it resolved. However, both our supplier and us claimed the materials owed. The Owner obviously doesn't want to pay for materials 2 times and has asked us and our supplier to go into escrow and modify our Lien with to remove the difference. We also want our supplier to be paid and agree to removing that material portion from our lien. However, we do not want to lose our abbility to collect the remaining owed balance and want to know if there is anything we should be careful of?

The trouble with modifying a lien is that a lien must be filed within 90 days of the cessation of labor. A new modified lien will probably not meet that criteria. .You don't want to jeopardize your position. The lien must be foreclosed in court within 8 months of when you recorded it.
