How Alaska treats lien waivers

Alaska does not prescribe a lien waiver form, so our general-purpose conditional and unconditional progress and final waiver forms apply, with no notarization required. Under AS 34.35.117 a signed written waiver is valid even without consideration, but it may not relate to labor, materials, services, or equipment furnished after the date it is signed: advance waivers of future lien rights are void. Wage-earning laborers and employees described in AS 34.35.120(10) cannot waive their lien rights at all.

What to know about Alaska lien waivers

  • Alaska limits waiver scope by statute: under AS 34.35.117 a lien waiver can only cover labor, materials, services, or equipment furnished on or before the date it is signed (waivers of future work are void), and wage-earning laborers and employees described in AS 34.35.120(10) cannot waive their lien rights at all.

Alaska lien waiver forms we generate

Four house forms cover every payment on an Alaska project: conditional or unconditional, progress or final.

Conditional Progress

Conditional Waiver and Release of Lien: Progress Payment

Signed when a progress payment is promised: the waiver only takes effect once that payment actually arrives.

Unconditional Progress

Unconditional Waiver and Release of Lien: Progress Payment

Signed after a progress payment has been received: immediately waives lien rights for work through the covered date.

Conditional Final

Conditional Waiver and Release of Lien: Final Payment

Signed when the final payment is promised: waives all remaining lien rights, but only once the payment clears.

Unconditional Final

Unconditional Waiver and Release of Lien: Final Payment

Signed after the final payment is in hand: a complete, immediate waiver of lien rights on the project.

Alaska has no statutory waiver form to download blank. The generator above fills in a general-purpose form with Alaska's signing rules built in instead.

Signing a lien waiver in Alaska

Execution rules (the form's wording, notarization, witnesses, and whether an electronic signature works) are set by state law. Here's what applies in Alaska, built into every waiver we generate.

Advance waivers

AS 34.35.117 makes a signed written waiver of lien or stop-lending-notice rights valid without consideration, but the waiver may not relate to labor, materials, services, or equipment furnished after the date the waiver is signed: advance waivers of lien rights for future work are void. Separately, an individual described in AS 34.35.120(10) (wage-earning laborers and employees) may not waive the right to claim a lien at all; a waiver purporting to waive that individual's or class's rights is void.

Alaska lien waiver questions

Which lien waiver forms does Alaska use?
Alaska does not prescribe a statutory lien waiver form, so the format is up to the parties. Our generator uses four general-purpose forms: conditional and unconditional waivers for progress and final payments.
Do Alaska lien waivers need to be notarized?
No. Alaska does not require lien waivers to be notarized.
What is the difference between a conditional and an unconditional lien waiver in Alaska?
A conditional waiver takes effect only once the payment it describes actually arrives; if the check bounces or never comes, your lien rights survive. An unconditional waiver gives up lien rights as soon as it is signed, whether or not you are ever paid, so sign one only after the money is in hand.
What is the difference between a progress and a final lien waiver in Alaska?
A progress waiver covers a single progress payment and waives lien rights only for work through a stated date, leaving rights for later work intact. A final waiver goes with the last payment and waives all remaining lien rights on the project.
Is a lien waiver signed in advance enforceable in Alaska?
AS 34.35.117 makes a signed written waiver of lien or stop-lending-notice rights valid without consideration, but the waiver may not relate to labor, materials, services, or equipment furnished after the date the waiver is signed: advance waivers of lien rights for future work are void. Separately, an individual described in AS 34.35.120(10) (wage-earning laborers and employees) may not waive the right to claim a lien at all; a waiver purporting to waive that individual's or class's rights is void.
