Release of Liens for Architect?
Has anyone ever requested that their architect ALSO sign an affadavit of release of leins before being given his final payment? Would it be prudent to do so, or unnecessary?

Check your contract.

I'm an architect. I've never heard of that before, but now that you raise the question, I wonder why I've never heard of it. It does seem odd that I've never been asked to do that.

Yeah, usually you swap, you give final payment, they give lien waiver. Not so common with architects or professionals, and it does depend slightly on the amount$$ and the relationship with the architect. I have asked for them in the past, and I have also not asked for them in the past.
