MECHANICS LIENS

What We Do...

• When Mechanics Lien services are requested, GRS requires our clients to complete a “Mechanics Lien Information Form” for each job / contract. This form can be downloaded directly from our website. After this form is completed it can be emailed or faxed back to GRS for processing: grslien@comcast.net / 815-463-1423 Fax.
• Upon receipt of the Mechanics Lien Information Form, GRS completes a tract search of the real estate to obtain the legal description of the property, and identify any and all parties having an interest in the real estate, i.e., Owners, Mortgagees, Agreements, etc.
• GRS obtains the complete corporate business name and its’ officers or registered agents, of all entities for the purpose of identifying, and sending notice to all parties having an interest in the real estate, job site, or project.
• GRS prepares your Contractors / Subcontractors Notice and Claim for Mechanics Lien.
• Once GRS has prepared the customers Mechanics Lien Document, it is forwarded to the customer via email, (unless instructed otherwise by the customer). The Customer is asked to sign, notarize and return the ORIGINAL document to GRS.
• Upon the return of the Original Mechanics Lien document, GRS mails out copies of the Mechanics Lien Document via Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to all the parties deemed necessary. These Certified Mailings are commonly referred to, or known as the “Notice of Claim”. The Green Certified Mail cards come back to GRS and are attached to the customers claim file.
• Pursuant to the mailing of the Notices, the Original signed and notarized Mechanics Lien Document is brought to the appropriate County Recorder of Deeds office for recording.
• A Confirmation Email / Fax is then sent to the customer displaying the Recorder of Deeds recording stamp which includes the document number and date of recording.
