a strange situation led to this scenario - I NEED a solid answer:
A man owned a property for 6 weeks (only one on title)- he then signed a quitclaim deed and transfered it to another guy (clear title)
can the original owner(grantor) , after signing the quitclaim deed - place a lien on the property for work he claims to have done-
or , when he signed the deed over did he give up this right?

Hi nelsons,
As the original owner signed the deed and transferred the property to the other person, he won't have any legal rights over the property. He cannot simply place a lien on that property. If he wants to recover his monies, then he needs to file a lawsuit at the local courthouse and get a judgment regarding the same. If he receives a judgment, then he would be able to place a lien on that property.
Thanks

If it was work that was done by the person who used to be on title for the new person, and the new person didn't pay him, the person who used to own the property may be able to file a mechanic's lien.
