Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What is a summon/Where to find it?

Complete the form. The summons document in most courts has a preferred format. Contact the clerk's office if a form or example is not accessible on the court's website. The summons should be "issued." A summons isn't legitimate unless it's signed by the clerk of the court where you filed your complaint.

What do you need in your summon?

Identify who is being sued. You'll need the person, business, or other entity you've designated as a defendant in the lawsuit's entire legal name and address. Each person or entity you are suing must get a separate summons.
