The answer to whether or not a process server can walk around your property largely depends on the situation. Several factors must be taken into consideration to conclude. In this blog post, we will discuss those elements and help you decide if it’s allowable for a process server to walk around your property.
Process servers have different state laws and regulations they need to follow. In some states, process servers are allowed to hand you legal documents while on your property. Other states don’t allow this though, so you must speak with an attorney about the process server laws in your state.
Another element to consider is whether or not you have an attorney. If so, they might be able to assist you in understanding if a process server can come onto your property. In some circumstances, attorneys can reach out to the process server and come up with an agreement that would permit them access to YOUR land. Nevertheless, this isn’t always possible.
In addition to the other factors, you must take your particular situation into account. If you don’t have an attorney, a process server may still be allowed on your property in some cases – for instance, if the person being served is trying to avoid it or can’t be found easily.
If you are still unsure about whether or not a process server can walk around your property, we recommend that you speak with an attorney for more information. They will be able to help you determine what the laws are in your state and whether or not you will be able to have the process server walk on your property without any legal ramifications.
