Which lien arises from unpaid claims by workers who performed work on the property?

• A. General Lien
• B. Mechanic's Lien
• C. Judgement Liens
• D. Statutory Lien

Answer: (B)

When workers or suppliers contribute labor or materials to improve a property and aren’t paid, the remedy is a mechanic’s lien. This lien gives those who helped build or enhance the property a security interest in the real estate, so they can be paid even if the owner sells the property. It’s tied directly to the work done on the property and is created by state law with specific filing and notice requirements, often taking priority based on when it’s filed. This differs from a general lien, which arises from general debts against the owner and isn’t tied to a specific improvement; from a judgment lien, which comes from a court judgment; and from a broad statutory lien that isn’t specifically linked to construction work. So the unpaid claims by workers who performed work on the property are secured through a mechanic’s lien.
