A Lien Notice alerts everyone that someone claims a legal right over property or assets in Qatar. It's commonly used when contractors, suppliers, or workers haven't been paid for their services and want to secure their right to payment before the property changes hands.

Under Qatari Civil Code provisions, filing a Lien Notice gives the claimant priority over other creditors and prevents the property owner from selling or transferring assets until the debt is settled. These notices must be filed with Qatar's Ministry of Justice within specific timeframes and require detailed documentation of the outstanding amounts and related services.

File a Lien Notice when someone owes you money for work, materials, or services in Qatar and you need to protect your right to payment. This is especially important for contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers who have completed projects but haven't received full compensation.

Time matters - under Qatari law, you must file within 90 days of completing the work or delivering materials. The notice creates a legal claim on the property and prevents its sale or transfer until your debt is settled. It's particularly valuable in construction projects, where multiple parties might compete for payment from the same property owner.

A Lien Notice differs significantly from a Notice of Default in both purpose and legal effect under Qatari law. While both documents deal with unpaid obligations, they serve distinct functions in protecting creditors' rights.

• Legal Effect: A Lien Notice creates a secured interest in specific property, while a Notice of Default simply documents a failure to meet payment obligations
• Timing and Priority: Liens must be filed within 90 days of completing work and establish payment priority; Default Notices can be issued at any time after missed payments
• Property Connection: Lien Notices attach directly to specific property or assets; Default Notices apply to general contractual obligations
• Enforcement Power: Liens prevent property transfer until debts are settled; Default Notices mainly serve as formal documentation before legal action
