 ==Overview==
-Construction Liens in Missouri are referred to as Mechanics' and Materialmen's Liens in the statutes authorizing them.  They are considered Type I Liens, and so when a lien is filed, it has priority back to the commencement of construction and does not require any special notice or registration to have this priority.
+Construction Liens in Missouri are referred to as Mechanics' and Materialmen's Liens in the statutes authorizing them.  They follow the standard model of most constructions liens.  When a lien is filed, it has priority back to the commencement of construction and does not require any special notice or registration to have this priority.  In addition, the lien will have priority over any security instrument recorded '''prior''' to the commencement of construction if the funds in the security instrument were intended to pay for the construction.

The lien dates from the visible commencement of work and has priority over any prior lien, which is recorded after the date of the visible commencement of work.

+Any person enforcing such lien may have such building, erection or improvement sold under execution and the purchaser may remove the same within a reasonable time after such a sale.1 In other words, if the date of attachment of a mechanic's lien is subsequent to the effective date of another encumbrance, the mechanic's lien will be superior as to the building or improvements constructed, but inferior as to the land.

		+	===Notice of Rights===
		+
		+	This process appears to have been developed in order to prevent new buyers from getting hit with mechanic’s liens. Basically the seller has to record the notice and also give separate notice to the contractor at least 45 days prior to closing. If any contractors do not record a Notice of Rights at least five days prior to the closing date, then they lose the ability to file a mechanic’s lien against the property. They still retain a regular contract remedy against the prior owner, however.
		+
		+	Because the notice must be filed at least 45 days prior to closing, a closing cannot be moved up if it would then fall within that 45 day period. A seller can close after the date in the notice without having to file a new notice, but they cannot move the date up, otherwise the protection against mechanic’s liens would be lost.
