A "Release of Claim" is a document that is filed/served to remove or withdraw a construction lien, stop notice or bond claim. Generally, when a claim is removed, it cannot be filed again due to time restraints. Therefore, a contractor should make sure that all payments clear the bank before issuing a release. Below is an overview of the three types of releases that we prepare.
Full Release and Satisfaction of Claim
This is used if the claimant has been paid and needs to release the claim.
Partial Release and Satisfaction of Claim
This is used if the claimant has been partially paid and would like to reduce the value of claim.
Withdrawal of Claim
This is used if a claimant is voluntarily withdrawing or discharging the claim.

Effective January 1, 2018, the California Senate passed Senate Bill 2 which adds an additional $75.00 filing fee for each real estate related document filed. This fee is levied per property, per document title. Once we complete the title research, our team will notify you if there are any additional fees due. You will have an opportunity to cancel if you decide not to proceed. Most of the time, there are no additional fees due.
