Subject: Transmitting Summons by Publication — Wisconsin [Your Case Number] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to provide you with a detailed description of the process and requirements for transmitting a Summons by Publication in the state of Wisconsin, as requested for your case with reference number [Your Case Number]. In Wisconsin, a Summons by Publication is utilized when traditional methods of serving a summons to the defendant have been exhausted but proved unsuccessful. This method allows the court to initiate legal proceedings even when the whereabouts of the defendant are unknown, or they cannot be located within the state. To begin the process, it is essential to prepare and file a Motion and Affidavit for Service by Publication with the court where the case is being heard. This document should clearly state the reasons for resorting to service by publication, providing sufficient evidence to support the claim that the defendant cannot be served personally within the state. Once the motion is filed, the court will review the submission and, if approved, issue an Order for Publication. The following are the main steps associated with transmitting a Summons by Publication in Wisconsin: 1. Prepare a Notice for Publication: The court requires a notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the county where the case is filed. The notice should include specific details about the case, such as the case caption, court address, case number, and a brief description of the nature of the lawsuit. It must also clearly illustrate that the defendant is being summoned and provide instructions on how they should respond. 2. Select an Appropriate Newspaper: Wisconsin law mandates that the notice be published once a week for three consecutive weeks. It is crucial to choose a newspaper eligible for publishing legal notices. This means selecting a newspaper that is approved by the court for such purposes. 3. Submit the Notice for Publication: Obtain the necessary publication information, including rates, deadlines, and specific requirements, from the chosen newspaper. Submit the notice to the newspaper, ensuring it complies with their specifications. 4. File an Affidavit of Publication: Once the three weeks of publication have been completed, the newspaper will provide an Affidavit of Publication, certifying that the notice was published as required. This affidavit needs to be filed with the court within the specified timeframe to effectively show due diligence in serving the defendant. In Wisconsin, there are no distinct types of Sample Letters for transmitting Summons by Publication. However, the contents of the sample letter should include the following information: 1. The case number, caption, and court address. 2. The reason for resorting to Summons by Publication and any relevant supporting evidence. 3. Instructions on preparing and filing the Motion and Affidavit for Service by Publication. 4. A detailed explanation of the steps involved in the process. 5. The importance of selecting an appropriate newspaper and the three-week publication requirement. 6. Guidance on submitting the notice to the newspaper and the subsequent filing of the Affidavit of Publication with the court. Please note that this letter is intended to provide you with a general overview of the steps and requirements for transmitting a Summons by Publication in Wisconsin. It is highly recommended that you consult with an attorney familiar with Wisconsin laws regarding service by publication to ensure compliance with all legal procedures.
