acknowledged and verified by oath of the claimant or, in the case of a partnership or

to the request of an owner or proprietor, material supplier, subcontractor, or anyone interested
as mortgagee or trustee in the real estate upon which improvements are made.
Notice by Contractor of Dispute of Lien Claim - This form is used by a corporate contractor to
dispute a Lien Claim that has been filed. The owner may pay the amount of the lien claim to the
claimant unless the contractor or subcontractor against whose account the lien is filed notifies
the owner and the lien claimant in writing within 20 days of service of the lien claim upon both
the owner and the contractor or subcontractor, that the claimant is not owed the monies claimed
and the reasons therefore.

need to adapt the form to fit your specific facts and circumstances.

III. TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS
The form(s) in this packet may contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word or Adobe
Acrobat (“.pdf” format). “Form fields” facilitate completion of the forms using your computer.
They do not limit your ability to print the form “in blank” and complete with a typewriter or by
hand.
It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. Go to the View menu, click on
Toolbars, and then select Forms. This will open the Forms toolbar. Look for the button on the
Forms toolbar that resembles a shaded letter “a”. Click this button and the form fields will be
visible.
By clicking on the appropriate form field, you will be able to enter the needed information. In
some instances, the form field and the line will disappear after information is entered. In other
cases, it will not. The form was created to function in this manner.
