[RPPTL-constructionlaw] question re: priority of claims to insurance

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I represent a contractor who
furnished ground stabilization related to sinkhole activity. My client has
a lien on the property for the work. The insurance company has cut a check
payable to the owner, my client, and the mortgage lender. The owner’s
attorney is holding the check but is trying to get the insurance company to drop
the owner’s name from the check and reissue a new check (I suppose to avoid any
involvement in a dispute between my client and the lender for the insurance
proceeds). The owner is also considering interpleader. The lender
has requested that the owner endorse the check and send it to them and then they
will consider what to do with it from there. The owner does not want to do
that because they feel the lender will not release the funds to my client and
then the owner still has liability to my client. The mortgage was recorded
before the NOC for my client’s work. The mortgage provides that insurance
proceeds will be applied to restoration or repair of the property if it is
economically feasible and lender’s security is not lessened. Any
suggestions on how to proceed from this point?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
