Process serving or the service of process is a procedure where the party of a lawsuit provides notice of a legal action to the other party such as the administrative body, court, or the defendant. The purpose of serving a process is to try to exercise jurisdiction over the person so that the person can respond to the proceeding in front of the tribunal, body, or court.
Process serving typically will need to be done directly to the person that is named on the complaint, summons, petition, or other legal document. In most types of lawsuits in the United States, personal service of the documents will be required in order to prove that the papers were served. In cases where a corporation is involved personal service has to be completed to a registered agent of the corporation or business entity.
Courier Service
There are some times when a document has to be delivered the same day. In these cases, many professional process serving companies will provide a courier service. This service will provide the same day delivery of the documents to the person that needs them. In many legal cases there is a lot of paper work that must be handled; this is where a courier service can help as couriers will be able to take the documents to where they need to be in a timely fashion.
Hiring a process service for delivering any type of legal document is extremely beneficial. These services hire professionals who have worked in the industry and understand the best ways possible to get the documents delivered to the appropriate individual. In addition, a process server will provide a notarized proof of service so that you know that your papers have been delivered on time and to the right person.
