Lien Process: Standard Terms & Conditions

I have created a set of standard terms and conditions that I use in the lien process, if my initial notice has been ignored.

They are referred to the second (14-Day notice) and attached to it. They then apply to the whole of the onward lien process, saving time having to introduce them into your correspondence.

Feel free to download the document, modify and use it or suggest any improvements/additions you think may "sharpen" it.

I offer it copyright free to my fellow sovereigns...

Lien Process Standard Terms & Conditions
