Document background
The Affidavit And Waiver Of Lien Form is a crucial document in Dutch construction and real estate transactions, designed to protect property owners and ensure clear title to property. This document is typically used upon completion of construction work or delivery of materials, when a contractor or supplier has received payment and needs to formally relinquish their right to place a lien on the property. Under Dutch law, particularly the Burgerlijk Wetboek (Dutch Civil Code), this document serves dual purposes: as a sworn statement confirming payment receipt and as a formal waiver of lien rights. It's particularly important in construction projects, property sales, and refinancing situations where clear title needs to be demonstrated. The document must be properly executed, often requiring notarization, to be legally valid under Dutch jurisdiction.
