Hi, Bryce.
Thanks a lot for those tips on the extra language for the Acceptance of Service. I wasn't aware of them.

No problem I have done this numerous times in the past for both in state and out of state defendants and I've never had a problem however in your acceptance of service you specify that it is not to be considered a notice of appearance but only an acceptance of service and that furthermore they waive the right to receive any notice of default and that no in personam judgment will be taken against them but that is only for the purpose of quieting title to the real estate.

Subject: [WSBARP] Acceptance of Service by Non-Represented Parties

Hi, Folks.
I'm throwing the wide-net on this fishing expedition. I have to serve an individual who lives out of state with a Quiet Title Action. They are not represented by an attorney. However, my understanding is that they have no interest in the property whose title I am clearing up.
So, I'm thinking if they are willing to sign an acceptance of service when I mail them the complaint and summons, that may meet the requirement of proving service of process for what I expect will be an eventual default judgment. That may be a little simpler and cheaper than having a process server. Anybody see any issues or problems with that approach?
Thanks.


Best Regards,

Dave Culbertson
