As a contractor I began doing work, maintenance and upkeep on a home in Indiana (February 2000). The labor included weekly lawn care, snow removal, construction labor, cleaning, painting, carpet replacement, trash removal, landscaping, window cleaning, etc. I also purchased materials for the property for years. The owners died in 2013; however, I maintained the property until February 2020. I was to receive compensation from the owner's or the estate upon the passing of the owner. The estate owes me approximately $29K. Do I have a right to file a lien on the property?

This is some what of a complex issue as it pertains to a number of Indiana statutes regarding construction as well as probate law.
