Description
Be a Terminator and terminate the risk of construction liens. This presentation will transform practitioners into terminators of risk by working through several construction scenarios at various stages of completion. The scenarios will deal with the evaluation of risk involved with notices of commencement and using the lien waiver process as the ultimate weapon to terminate lien risk and notices of commencement simultaneously in true terminator fashion.
Fund Underwriting counsel will discuss situations commonly encountered when insuring property in various stages of construction. The discussion will include:
- Evaluating risk using a lien waiver audit
- Effective use of a Notice of Termination
- Addressing challenges in clearing Notices of Commencement
