What is this bond?

A Massachusetts Lien Bond, also known as a release of lien bond, is a surety bond used to discharge a mechanic's lien filed against a parcel of real estate. It acts as a financial guarantee that the lienholder will receive their rightful payment if their claim is proven valid in court. By replacing the property as the security for the claim, the bond successfully clears the property's title.

Who needs it?

Property owners, developers, and general contractors in Massachusetts typically need this bond. It is utilized when a subcontractor, supplier, or laborer files a mechanic's lien due to a payment dispute and the owner needs an unencumbered property title.

Why is it required?

Courts and obligees require this bond to protect the financial interests of the party who filed the original lien. It ensures that funds are securely available to satisfy the claim if the dispute is legally resolved in the claimant's favor. This mechanism balances the property owner's need to sell or refinance the property with the claimant's right to compensation.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ⚠Failing to provide the exact legal property description and original lien details on the application.
  • ⚠Not verifying the required bond amount with the Massachusetts court or legal counsel before applying.
  • ⚠Assuming the bond dismisses the underlying payment dispute rather than simply transferring the security.
  • ⚠Waiting until closing day to secure the bond, which can delay property refinancing or sales.

How do I determine the required bond amount?

Required bond amounts vary based on the original lien value and jurisdictional guidelines. You must verify the exact required amount with your legal counsel or the presiding Massachusetts authority.

Does getting this bond mean I do not have to pay the contractor?

No, a lien bond simply replaces the real estate as collateral so you can clear the title. You are still legally responsible for resolving the underlying dispute and paying any valid claims.
