<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>My
understanding was that this was intended to prohibit notice companies from
drafting claims of lien. The result has been that the notice companies
are still drafting the liens but no longer putting their information in the
“Prepared by and return to” block. I’ve had several problems in the past
few weeks with liens improperly drafted, and in one case signed by the notice
company as “agent” of the contractor and recorded without the contractor’s
knowledge or approval (which almost blew up a settlement deal we had worked
out). What can/should be done to stop this??<o:p></o:p></span></p>
