representations about construction (usually a signed affidavit). Seller will then in turn tender defense to the GC. However, a simple call by the Seller to the GC might get things worked out quickly to at least get lien released with GC tendering disputed
amount into court registry. That way Seller and Buyer don’t accrue legal fees. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Facts</b>: Owner contracts with GC to build house; Owner pays GC in full without sufficient lien release assurances; Owner sells house, title is conveyed to Buyer by recorded warranty deed; Subcontractor thereafter records an otherwise
valid mechanic's lien.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I assumed the lien was invalid on its face since it is subsequent to conveyance. How can Subcontractor foreclose Buyer's superior-in-time interest? I know a mechanics lien can defeat an existing but unrecorded DOT. But superior to a prior
recorded conveyance? <o:p></o:p></p>
