Answer To Complaint For Forfeiture (Not Involving Drugs Or Money Laundering) {AFA-A 4102.2}

AFA-A 4102.2 - ANSWER TO COMPLAINT FOR FORFEITURE (NOT INVOLVING DRUGS OR MONEY LAUNDERING). This form is used in Illinois Circuit Courts by individuals—referred to as claimants—who are responding to a civil asset forfeiture complaint that does not involve allegations of drug-related offenses or money laundering. This form allows the claimant to formally respond to each paragraph in the complaint by indicating whether they admit, deny, or do not have enough information to answer the allegations made by the State. By completing this form, the claimant asserts a legal interest in the seized property and begins the process of challenging the forfeiture in court. The form also requires the claimant to provide their personal information and to certify the truthfulness of their statements under penalty of perjury. Additionally, the claimant must document how and when they sent copies of the form to all relevant parties, including the State's Attorney, any lienholders, and other individuals who may have an interest in the property. This is done to ensure that all parties are properly notified, which is a critical part of the legal process. The completed form must be signed in accordance with Illinois Supreme Court Rule 137, and false statements may result in criminal penalties. www.FormsWorkflow.com
