Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: HELP! I missed 30-day deadline to file answer... what can I do?

Yes you can always amend your answer later. You can file a general denial if the complaint is unverified. If it is verified, you have to file a specific denial.

If I were you I would request an extension to respond to the lawsuit while at the same time finding an attorney to represent you. I would make sure to confirm the request for extension in writing to the opposing attorney as well as the grant of any extension.

Even if they DO get a default, it can be set aside (vacated) pretty easily.

I would be happy to discuss your case with you.

Has a default been entered? If it has hire an attorney to have the default set asside. I work in L.A. courts. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

See a lawyer right away--you can generally file a late answer--if you wait until they get a default against you, you may be able to undo it up to six months later, but it will just cost you more money.
