South Carolina Summons (For Guardianship) is a legal document that is used in the state of South Carolina to notify a person that a guardianship petition has been filed against them. This document is issued by the court, and it states that the person must appear at a specified date and time to answer the petition. The Summons also contains information about the petition, such as the name of the petitioner, the name of the minor or incapacitated person, and the court where the petition was filed. There are two types of South Carolina Summons (For Guardianship): Service by Publication and Service by Personal Delivery. Service by Publication is when a notice is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the person resides, and Service by Personal Delivery is when a court-appointed process server delivers the Summons directly to the person.
