Order Denying Leave To Serve By Publication And To Appoint Guardian Ad Litem

ORDER DENYING LEAVE TO SERVE BY PUBLICATION AND TO APPOINT A GUARDIAN-AD-LITEM. This form is used in the context of a residential mortgage foreclosure action. It addresses a plaintiff's motion requesting permission to serve legal documents by publication and to appoint a guardian-ad-litem for unknown heirs of a deceased mortgagor who cannot be located through due diligence. The order explains that if efforts to identify and locate the heirs have been insufficient or unreasonable, service by publication and the appointment of a guardian-ad-litem may be denied. In this specific case, the plaintiff's motion was denied because they failed to adequately demonstrate the necessity of such actions under the law, and the court decided the motion was without merit, denying it without prejudice. www.FormsWorkflow.com
