51 statutory regimes Every state's strict-compliance deadline — verified, not assumed

Every payment right preserved, every deadline, done for you.

Our engine assembles and serves every statutory preliminary notice and mechanics lien or bond claim on the correct strict-compliance deadline, in every state — with a defensible audit trail. Feed us your job ledger; we handle the rest.

Why notices fail

A single missed deadline can extinguish a six-figure claim.

In U.S. construction, the difference between getting paid and eating a loss usually isn't the merits of the invoice — it's whether a piece of paper was served or recorded by an unforgiving statutory deadline. Mechanics lien and preliminary-notice law is 51 different rulebooks (50 states + D.C.), enforced under a strict-compliance doctrine where a notice that is one day late, sent to the wrong party, or missing a required field can permanently extinguish a six- or seven-figure claim.

A subcontractor running 40 active jobs across five states is tracking hundreds of moving deadlines — California's 20-day preliminary notice, Texas's monthly 'fund-trapping' notices, Florida's 45-day Notice to Owner — with, typically, a single overloaded credit clerk and a spreadsheet.

Most lost recoveries are not lost on the merits of the underlying payment claim — they are lost on the preliminary notice. SlipLienClear exists to close that gap with a single, exhaustive standard applied identically to every file.

The benchmark

Measured against the letter of every state's statute — subsection by subsection.

We do not summarize the law and hope. Every pack is scored against a versioned rule pack tied to the exact text of each state's lien and notice statutes. These are the provisions each pack is held to.

Fla. Stat. §713.06

Florida Notice to Owner

45-day preliminary notice served on owner and contractor, with specific content and service requirements.

Cal. Civ. Code §8200

California 20-day preliminary notice

20-day preliminary notice to owner, contractor, and lender; failure to serve forfeits lien rights.

Tex. Prop. Code §53.056

Texas monthly fund-trapping notice

Monthly notice to owner and contractor to trap funds; must be sent by the 15th of the next month.

Ohio Rev. Code §1311.011

Ohio pre-lien notice

Notice of furnishing to owner and contractor within 21 days of first furnishing; strict compliance required.

N.Y. Lien Law §9

New York notice of lien

Notice of mechanic's lien filed within 8 months of last furnishing; must include verified statement.

Ga. Code §44-14-361.1

Georgia claim of lien

Claim of lien filed within 90 days of last furnishing; preliminary notice not required but recommended.

How a pack is built

Intake to specialist release, with deterministic gates the AI cannot overrule.

AI extracts and drafts. Deterministic rules — running as code, outside the model — decide what is complete. A human specialist signs every release. That order is never reversed.

01

Delinquency Gap Scan

Upload the job ledger and contract details. We return a free completeness read: which statutory notices and lien deadlines you already have, and which are missing.

02

Party research & lien searches

As your authorized clerical agent, we research the true property owner, general contractor, lender, and any sureties; order UCC and judgment lien searches; and build the lienholder matrix.

03

Grounded drafting

The statutory notice or lien document is drafted from your validated data and the state rule pack into field-locked templates — no legal opinions, no invented facts.

04

Deterministic completeness gates

Deadline is verified against the statute; all required parties are included; amounts reconcile to the ledger; service method is correct. Any failure blocks release.

05

Specialist release

A construction-lien specialist reviews the exception queue and signs the release. In states where non-attorney preparation is UPL, a licensed attorney reviews and signs.

06

Delivery

You receive the pack: notices, lien documents, evidence log, service affidavits, certified-mail packet with labels, and a docket calendar — ready for the customer to send or record under its own name.

Why SlipLienClear

Built to be the most thorough option a subcontractor has.

Documentation-complete, by design

The deliverable is completeness itself — every statutory element and search accounted for or explicitly exception-coded. Nothing is left implicit.

Deterministic, not vibes

The gates that decide completeness are code, not a model's opinion. A drafting error cannot slip past a statutory requirement.

In its lane, on purpose

We prepare documentation and run searches as your clerical agent. We never contact the property owner, give legal advice, or conduct the sale.

Engagement

Flat fee, per notice or lien. No hourly, ever.

Simple, predictable, and aligned with a documentation standard — not a cut of any recovery.

  • A free Delinquency Gap Scan before you commit — see exactly what is missing.
  • One flat fee per preliminary notice ($40) and per lien/bond claim ($300–500); disclosed pass-through search fees.
  • Optional fixed-fee attorney review for states where non-attorney preparation is UPL.
  • Optional Sale Continuity Add-on for the advertisement and sale-day exhibits, pre-dated to your 60-day window.
FAQ

Questions, answered precisely.

Is SlipLienClear a law firm?
No. SlipLienClear, a service of Your Deputy, Obuke LLC, provides documentation-completeness services. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not represent you in any legal matter. Attorney review is available and recommended for states where non-attorney lien preparation is unauthorized.
Do you contact the property owner or collect the debt?
Never. SlipLienClear is not a debt collector and does not contact property owners or debtors. The subcontractor remains the lien claimant and the party responsible for sending all notices and recording any lien.
What makes a pack 'complete'?
Completeness is defined by the statute: the required notice elements present, the deadline verified, all required parties identified, service method correct, and amounts reconciled. Deterministic gates enforce each one before release.
How fast is it?
The standard SLA is five business days from complete intake to a specialist-released pack. The free Gap Scan is returned much sooner and tells you exactly what is still needed.
How are you priced?
A flat fee per notice ($40) and per lien/bond claim ($300–500), plus disclosed pass-through search costs. No hourly billing and no percentage of any recovered amount.
