Document background
The Property Lien Release Form is an essential document in Canadian real estate and construction transactions, used when a lien holder wishes to formally release their claim against a property. This document becomes necessary when a debt or obligation secured by a lien has been satisfied, when a construction project is completed and contractors have been paid, or when resolving property title issues. The form must comply with provincial legislation governing property rights and lien releases, including specific requirements for execution and registration. Property Lien Release Forms are particularly common in construction projects where contractors, subcontractors, or material suppliers have registered liens to secure payment, but are also used in other contexts where property liens need to be discharged. The document must include specific details about the property, the original lien, and the parties involved to be legally effective and acceptable for registration in the provincial land registry system.
