<p class="xmsonormal">Hi, Folks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">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?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
