You've asked an extremely broad question. What should you do if a Mechanics Lien is placed against your property? Plenty.

First, you should consult a knowledgeable Contruction lawyer to ensure that the Mechanics Lien notice was properly perfected.

Second, you can take steps to put the lienor under pressure to file or lose his lien rights.

Third, depending on the amount due and your position on which the lienor actually did the job, you may be able to negotiate.

I hope this information was helpful. Best of luck.

You can settle with the claimant, do nothing, or force the claimant to file suit to foreclose the lien within 30 days or forfeit the lien.
