Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I lent money to an individual (borrower) who, as collateral, assigned to me interest in a one quarter piece of property which he is owner of. The entire property is the subject of a partition action, with the borrower being the plaintiff. The individual/plaintiff is now in default to me, the lender, and I may have to sue him for breach of contract. Can I consider his attorney, who is representing him in the partition action, and who also created the assignment docs re the loan, as an agent for service?

No, unless you ask first and he agrees to act as such.

No. An agent for service is only for a business. You must serve the individual, or a person who they directly authorize to accept service for them.
