Thanks Svelte,
I guess I am still struggling with what is the point of the signed Unconditional Release from the contractor if claimants can still put a lien on my home?

If we do nothing and let the lien sit on the home, since we just moved in a few months ago and don’t plan on moving for several years, what happens then?

I am also trying to figure out what I could have done differently..since all work was completed to our satisfaction I then made the final payment and received the release…should I have done it differently? Contractor had solid references and no prior problems that I could find during the due diligence process.
Thx.
