Subject: Mecklenburg, North Carolina — Sample Letter for Request to Issue Summons by Publication Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request your assistance in issuing a summons by publication for a legal matter currently pending in Mecklenburg, North Carolina. Please find below a detailed description of the process and the relevant documents required for this purpose. In Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, when traditional means of serving the summons to a defendant have been exhausted without success, the law allows for alternative methods such as publication. This method involves publishing the summons in a newspaper approved by the court, thus providing the defendant with proper notice of the legal proceedings. To initiate this process, the following steps need to be followed: 1. Filing the Petition: The petitioner must file a petition with the Mecklenburg County Superior Court requesting permission to issue a summons by publication. The petition should include the case number, the names of the parties involved, and the reasons why traditional service methods have failed. 2. Drafting the Affidavit: Along with the petition, an affidavit must be prepared. The affidavit should state the defendant's identity, last known whereabouts, the efforts made to serve the summons personally, and any supporting evidence such as returned mail or failed delivery attempts. 3. Finalizing the Summons by Publication: Once the court grants permission, a "Notice of Summons" must be created. This document should contain the case details, the names of the parties, the date of filing, and information about the newspaper where the summons will be published. In Mecklenburg County, this newspaper is typically The Charlotte Observer. 4. Publishing the Summons: The Notice of Summons must be published in The Charlotte Observer for a specific duration, usually once a week for three consecutive weeks. The newspaper will provide proof of publication, which should be filed with the court upon completion. 5. Certificate of Service: After the three-week publication period, a Certificate of Service needs to be filed with the court, confirming that the summons has been published as required. By following these steps, we ensure that the defendant receives proper notice of the legal proceedings and the opportunity to respond accordingly. If you require any additional information or have specific guidelines for the formatting of these documents, please let me know. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated, as time is of the essence in completing the publication process. Thank you for your assistance in this regard. Should you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number] [Email Address]
