Which of the following methods is NOT acceptable for notifying an owner of a lien?

  1. Personal Hand Delivery

  2. Fax

  3. Registered Mail

  4. Certified Mail

The correct answer is: Fax

The method considered not acceptable for notifying an owner of a lien is the use of fax. While many methods of communication can be valid for various types of notifications, especially in legal contexts like lien notifications, faxing does not provide the same level of verification and reliability as the other methods listed. Personal hand delivery offers tangible proof that the notification was received directly by the owner, while registered mail and certified mail both provide formal documentation of the delivery process, including confirmation of receipt. These methods are designed to ensure that the recipient is officially informed and that there is a record of this notification should any disputes arise later. In contrast, faxing lacks these strong provisions for accountability and legal verification, making it less suitable for such critical notifications.
