I am looking to bond over a mechanic's lien on a residential single family property in New York. The New York lien law seems vague on the process. What documents have to be served to the lienor after the bond is filed with the county clerk? What is the time frame for service? Lien law doesn't seem to require the filing an affidavit of service after the lienor is served, is that correct? It seems the bond isn't "effective" until the lienor is served? How would a title company know that the lienor was served?
