One of the challenges facing attorneys when completing a service by publication is knowing what elements are required in the actual Application for Service of Summons by Publication. Most states require the same basic information although the format may vary.

Here are the required elements for applying to the court for service by publication:

1. Statement of Facts Regarding the Case

This is just a one-paragraph summary of the case with no specifics or details.  Keep it short!

2. Request

A statement to the court that you seek to have the summons published and why.

3. Argument

A statement of your position that the only available alternative method of service is service by publication.

4. Documentation of Attempted Service by Traditional Methods

A report by a private investigator stating the exact steps taken in an attempt to locate the current address for service of the defendant.

5. Points and Authorities

Code sections and case law that allow for service by publication.  We have provided P&A’s in the sample application which is available by requesting at www.GlobalLegalNotices.com/request-a-notice/

6. Conclusion

An explanation summarizing why service by publication is the only available method for service of your legal documents

You are in luck! We will prepare each of the above-described documents, all ready for filing with the court, at no additional charge.  By the way, our total fee to handle the entire process is unbelievably low – much less than what it would cost you in research time!
