Re: estate probate court case
Hello. A summons is a form that accompanies a civil complaint and advises you of the courthouse where you should file your appearance and answer in a civil lawsuit. You should take this seriously and hire a lawyer. You definitely do not want to get stuck with a default judment against you. Will be happy to discuss this further and in more detail.
