Document background
The Final Lien Release Form is a critical document used in the Netherlands construction industry when a project reaches completion and final payment has been made. This document, governed by Dutch civil law (Burgerlijk Wetboek), particularly Books 3 and 6 regarding property rights and obligations, serves to formally release any claims or liens (retentierecht) that contractors or subcontractors might have on the property. The form is typically executed after all work has been completed and final payment has been received, providing property owners with assurance that no future claims will be made against their property. It includes detailed information about the project, parties involved, payment confirmation, and explicit release language that complies with Dutch legal requirements. The Final Lien Release Form is particularly important in complex construction projects where multiple contractors and subcontractors are involved, as it helps prevent future disputes and ensures clear documentation of project completion and payment satisfaction.
