Conditional waiver and release on final payment
Releases all lien rights on the project, only after the final payment clears.
What this form does
The conditional final waiver releases all of the claimant's lien rights for the entire project, on the condition the final payment described actually clears. Send it with the last pay app. Once the sub signs and the check clears, the lien rights are released for the job.
When to use it
Send this with the final pay app, before the final check clears. The sub signs, you cut the check, and once the funds move, you're done with that sub on that project.
Most state statutes treat the conditional final as the safer of the two final-payment forms. It's the right choice unless the final payment has already cleared.
Sample wording
Paraphrased for clarity. State-specific statutory text is filled in automatically when you pick the project's state.
Upon receipt by the undersigned of a check from [customer] in the sum of [amount] payable to [claimant], and when the check has been properly endorsed and has been paid by the bank on which it is drawn, this document shall become effective to release all mechanic's lien, stop payment notice, or bond rights the undersigned has on the job of [owner] located at [project].
What the form holds back
- Disputed claims that pre-date the final waiver
- Items not arising from the contract or work performed
Questions
Is this the right form for the final payment?
Yes, if the final payment has not yet cleared. The conditional version protects the sub against a bounced final check.
Can I use this and skip the unconditional final later?
Once the final check has cleared, the conditional final has done its job. Many GCs request an unconditional final as a clean closeout document, but the conditional final's effect is identical once payment is honored.
