Zlien Just Got Smarter – Introducing the Lien Wizard

By on December 22, 2008

SEATTLE, WA (December 23, 2008) — Zlien, Inc. is excited to introduce its proprietary Lien Wizard, proclaiming that its innovative lien filing and management service has just gotten smarter.

The new Lien Wizard makes it easier than ever for contractors, suppliers and others to build and order construction notices, mechanics liens, lien releases, cancellations and more.

The Lien Wizard collects information about the contractor and the particular project, and determines what types of documents may be filed.

“It’s really a spectacular new feature,” says founder Scott Wolfe, Jr.  “Lien law can be quite complex.  We’re trying to harness web technology to make it easier than ever for contractors to protect and assert their deserved lien rights.  The Lien Wizard takes the project information, applies it to the legal standards, and figures out what should be filed.    And it’s getting smarter every day.”

Within the next thirty days, Zlien is adding a web-based lien management service to its suite of lien solutions.   The management software will calculate lien deadlines, offer contractors deadline alerts, and notify users of the lien law that applies specifically to its project.

  • ED Woolverton East Side Painting &deco.

    Several years ago I painted a home in Redmond for the person leasing the home. The home belongs to an estate run by an attorney in New Jersey who refuses to pay the bill ($3,200), he says permission was not received to paint the home. The elderly person living in the home can stay there until she dies, the home then goes to an animal fund. Can I file a lien.

      Hi Ed. Thanks for the comment. Since Express Lien is a legal document preparation service, they are restricted from giving legal advice and answering questions like this. However, I happen to practice law in the state of Washington, and feel comfortable commenting on your question – mostly because the facts yield so little ambiguity. In Washington, a lien must be filed within 90 days of the last providing of labor and/or materials. Since you painted this house several years ago, your lien rights have almost certainly expired.
