A person or entity that supplies materials used in the construction or repair of a building or other property. If unpaid, a material man may file a mechanic's lien as a legal claim for the value of the materials provided.
A Mechanic's Lien is a legal claim against a property that has been remodeled or improved. It is filed by contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers who claim they have not been paid for their work or materials. The lien ensures that these entities receive payment for their contribution to the construction or repair of buildings or other structures. This lien remains in effect until the debt is settled, and in certain circumstances, it may provide priority over other creditors in the event of liquidation or sale of the property.
