Text: [¶ 44.] A lien waiver waives only the portion of the claim which is paid. Lyons Federal Tr. & Sav. v. Moline Nat., 193 Ill.App.3d 108, 140 Ill.Dec. 282, 549 N.E.2d 933, 936 (Ill.App.Ct.1990); Portland Elec. & Plumbing Co. v. Simpson, 59 Or.App. 486, 651 P.2d 172, 174 (Or.App. 1982). See generally Metropolitan Federal Bank v. A.J. Allen, 477 N.W.2d 668 (Iowa 1991) (concerning interpretation of lien waivers). Specifically, all doubts about the lien waiver are to be resolved in favor of the lien. Id. at 673.
