NC LIEN WAIVER — KEY RULES

A lien waiver under G.S. 44A-12 releases the lienor's claim of lien on real property and should be filed with the county Register of Deeds — NOT in the courthouse
Full waiver: releases all claims for the entire project; unconditional upon signing
Partial waiver: releases lien for work through a stated draw or date; does not release remaining balance
Conditional waiver: effective only when specified payment clears; used to exchange for a check before it clears
Notarization is required — sign in front of a licensed NC notary
Lien waiver is NOT the same as a lien cancellation/discharge — discharge is filed by the clerk after satisfaction
120-day window to file original lien runs from last date of furnishing — act early
