How to Avoid a Mechanic's Lein

What is the name of your state? MO

We are having some home remodeling done with a General Contractor.

What form/paperwork should we get when the job is done to make sure none of the sub-contractors or suppliers can put a lein on our home?

Is there a Lein Wavier or something? How do you all handle this when doing remodeling (or any contracting work)? It sounds like a lot of people don't bother! I'm just the cautious type.

Thanks,

**A: when you pay the contractor, get a lien waiver signed. Contact your state Consumer Protection offce.
