Greenwich also requires the entire legal property description from the deed “Schedule A” to be included. Since Greenwich does not have deed records on the internet, they kindly faxed us a copy of the existing Schedule A by calling (203) 622-7897. Also, their turn-around-time is same day for recording, with 2-3 days thereafter for returning the original certificate, so there is no need for conformed copies.

Cost for PreLien2Lien:Lien Service – USA subscribers will be $400 per year. This cost will be in addition to the $600 per year cost to license the PreLien2Lien:Lien Service – USA edition and the $12 per year fee for a lien service’s customer to see their notices online in Adobe PDF format.

Our lien service customers have been asking for this feature for quite some time. This new feature is the first step as part of a long range software development plan to offer a full featured online version of PreLien2Lien.

Most of the changes are minor and intended to standardize and simplify the California lien laws into a new subdivision–Civil Codes §§ 8100-8118. Additionally, Code §§ 8120-8138 requires new waiver and release forms to be created/used.

Since we are on top of this, PreLien2Lien will have a free upgrade available to annual subscribers with these changes in June 2012.

Future blog postings will address in detail the additional changes coming up.

On the bright side, a Conforming Copy of the original document can be sent to you within 2 weeks after recordation. Conforming Copies are non-certified copies on a lien that have all of the indexing information: Document number, date & time of recording, etc. There is no extra fee if you include an additional copy of the notice and an additional Self Addressed Stamped Envelope. Be sure to indicate that you are requesting a Conforming Copy.

Current customers EAST TEXAS REFRIGERATION and LEHIGH-HANSON gave us external reminders recently about the upcoming change. While we are always working hard to proactively be informed about pending law changes, I always appreciate that our customers expect our software solution to work reliably and be legal so that they can count on it when needed.

The new PreLien2Lien V. 16.01.01, to be released on Friday, December 30th, will have these notices in the software. Word document versions for $12.95 each were uploaded to our online store today.

Use of a Notary for these Waivers is highly suggested. Additionally, use of added language, through dates, special instructions, invoice numbers and other added text is strongly discouraged, as any variation in text will deviate from the statuatory language. While you might not have a problem 99% of the time, the time your added language gets challenged in a lawsuit could make you learn a very difficult lesson. Our opinion is always to keep a document as clean, brief and statuatory as possible. Don’t give someone an opening to challenge you.

I have to admit, I had resisted going on Facebook since it was talked about seriously in our 2010 all company meeting. The current reality is that most successful companies are now employing extensive new media marketing. Using Facebook as a way to communicate with a new base of PreLien2Lien customers and sales prospects only makes us more effective in being both reachable and accountable to anyone who has an interest in TRADITION SOFTWARE.

PreLien2Lien customers spend less money for their PreLien2Lien Annual Subscription and save even more with our lower price Tradition Forms as compared to using Lien Writer and Pettit Forms. Now factor in the labor/time savings of printing duplex for either a single print project a large mass print run. Our commitment to save you time and money related to construction lien management continues.

Our former space in Roseville was an excellent home for four years. But we felt that with the growth of our TRADITION NOTICE SERVICES division, we needed a new location that would give us the flexibility to allow those employees to work together as a self contained team. The PreLien2Lien and TraditionInk.com sales and support employees will continue to work within the HQ office.

Additionally, we wanted to be a leader here in Placer County for upstart new companies, so we have formed the SIERRA TECHNOLOGY INCUBATOR. All divisions under TRADITION SOFTWARE will be members of the newly formed SIERRA TECHNOLOGY INCUBATOR. Prospective entrepreneurs will have free access onsite to the conference room and startup experience that I have accumulated over my twenty five (25) year career, mostly with startups.

“The Leader In Construction Lien Solutions” reflects the a new direction in marketing for TRADITION SOFTWARE. With the launch of the TRADITION NOTICE SERVICES division in 2010, companies in US construction now have the option to use the leading do it yourself software solution for in-house construction lien management (PreLien2Lien) or have TRADITION NOTICE SERVICES, the leading document preparation service for construction lien management, prepares notices as an outside service.
