court summons

If a person is being sued, then the person should be served a summons. The summons should not be given to someone else thinking that it will be given to the concerned person. However, the court may send you the summons through a certified mail.

A summons can be served to any adult living in that household. Depending on the rules of civil procedure for your state, it is possible to be served by mail.

What state do you live in? Rules of service vary by state but generally anyone over the age of 16 can accept the summons.

Hey guys, I had read somewhere that anyone can put their signature for it, but then it won't be acceptable at the court. It also stated, that in order to be acceptable the defendant (or anyone who's legally representing him) must sign for it. Would you guys please help clarify my doubts regarding this? Does it also vary with our service rules?

Where did you read this? The rules for civil procedure vary state by state and with most states, anyone over a certain age can sign for a summons.
