-
Can you refuse to accept documents from a process server?
You can refuse to accept documents from a process server. However, in most cases, the process server is legally allowed to leave them next to you or at your feet. Whether you accept them or not, you are considered served.
-
What happens if a process server can't serve you?
If a process server cannot serve documents because you were not home or refused, the consequences depend on the documents and local laws. In some cases, an application may be made to court for an alternative method of service.
