This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: Louisiana Sample Letter for Transmittal of Summons by Publication Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. The purpose of this correspondence is to provide you with a detailed description of the process of transmitting summons by publication in the state of Louisiana, along with a sample letter for your reference. In Louisiana, when all reasonable efforts to serve an individual with a summons have been exhausted, it becomes imperative to seek alternative methods such as service by publication. This method involves publishing a notice in an authorized newspaper or publication, informing the defendant about the legal actions being taken against them. To initiate this process, the following steps need to be followed: 1. Verification of Due Diligence: Before seeking service by publication, it is crucial to ensure that diligent efforts have been made to locate and personally serve the defendant. This verification is essential to demonstrate to the court that all reasonable efforts have been exhausted. 2. Selection of an Authorized Publication: Louisiana law specifies that the notice should be published in a newspaper authorized by the court for such purposes. It is necessary to identify a publication that meets the court's requirements and has a broad readership in the area where the defendant is likely to be found. 3. Drafting the Notice: The notice must contain specific information, including the case name and number, the court where the case is filed, the nature of the legal action, and a concise explanation of how the defendant should respond. Additionally, the notice should specify a deadline by which the defendant must respond to the lawsuit. 4. Preparing the Transmittal Letter: Along with the notice, it is customary to transmit a letter to the publication, authorizing them to run the notice as per the required legal standards. This letter should include detailed information about the case and the defendant, along with any pertinent court orders or supporting documents.
