Pennsylvania Notice to DEFEND is a statutory notice issued by the Pennsylvania Department of State, informing a defendant that they have been sued and that a response is required within 20 days of receipt of the notice. It is used in civil cases in the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas. There are two types of Pennsylvania Notice to DEFEND: a general notice, which is sent to the defendant's last known address; and a notice to defend with an Affidavit of Service, which is sent to the defendant's attorney, if one is known. The Notice to DEFEND includes a copy of the complaint and a summons, and must be served on the defendant either by a sheriff or by certified mail. The defendant must file an answer to the complaint within 20 days of receipt of the notice, or a default judgement may be entered against them.
