    Quebec Legal Hypothec of Construction (Notice)

    Quebec stands alone: there is no builders' lien - the equivalent is the legal hypothec of construction under the Civil Code. This covers the prior notice (for those without a direct contract with the owner) and the 30-day register-and-serve step.

    High risk

    Get legal advice before sending. This relates to a serious dispute or financial situation.
