Document background
The Notice of Claim of Lien is a critical document in the Philippine legal system used to protect the rights of contractors, suppliers, and service providers who have contributed to the improvement of real property but have not received payment for their work or materials. This document must be filed in accordance with Philippine law, particularly the Civil Code and Property Registration Decree, and typically follows specific timing requirements after the completion of work or last delivery of materials. The Notice of Claim of Lien must contain precise details about the property, the amount claimed, and the nature of work or materials provided, and requires proper notarization and registration to be legally enforceable. It serves as a preliminary step in securing payment rights and can lead to foreclosure proceedings if the debt remains unpaid.
