[CLC-Discussion] Who can sign liens and releases?

[Jeffrey Price]

Delivered a partial lien release for a single condo where client has a lien on the entire complex. This was the 6th at this condo for routine sales (Miami-Dade) and was no different that the other 5 (or other 20-some in the last 6 months on other complexes). The release was prepared by me (Attorney for Lienor), signed by me as "Agent/Attorney for Lienor."

Got into a dispute about the release form (not the amount). First they wanted the jurat changed to duplicate the language as of Jan. 1, 2020 (despite the statute saying the jurat "must be in substantially the following form"). Whatever. Fine.

But then this is forwarded to me. I called "Connie" but because I am not a member of "The Fund" she refused to discuss anything and hung up the phone. (You that have dealt with me can understand, hell, I don't even like talking to me in a mirror).

Question - has anyone ever heard of this line of reasoning? Does 692 have anything to do with 713 liens and releases?

"The release is signed an agent of a Florida corporation.  Under Sec. 692.01, F.S.,  a corporate officer may sign partial releases of mortgages and acquittances for debts. There is no authority for anyone other than a corporate officer to sign such a document."
