The Waiver and Release of Lien Form is a critical document in Philippine construction and real estate transactions, designed to protect both property owners and service providers. It is commonly used when a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier has completed their work or delivered materials and received payment, thereby waiving their right to file a mechanical or construction lien against the property. This document must comply with Philippine Civil Code provisions and local property laws, requiring proper execution and often notarization. The form typically includes details about the property, the work performed, payment received, and explicit language releasing lien rights. It's particularly important for clearing property titles and ensuring smooth completion of construction projects, as it helps prevent future claims against the property.
