Bond Validation Action

Initial Filing - We get the modified Summons issued; complaint filed and submit the ex parte Application for Publication of Summons to the appropriate department. Once there, we make the department aware of the CCP code section which gives preference to the Validation action over all other civil matters before the court. We monitor the department on a daily basis until the Order for Publication has been signed.

Publication - After receiving the Order for Publication, we coordinate with adjudicated newspaper of proper venue to publish the Summons. Since a Validation publication period is different from a standard Summons publication, we calculate the correct cutoff date for interested persons to respond.

We then ensure the newspaper publishes the Summons on the dates specified, and provide your office with copies of the published Notice.

We finish the publication process by obtaining Certified copies of the Proof of publication, which allows us to submit the Final Judgment without the delays associated with waiting for the Proofs.

Walk Thru of Default - With the Certified copies of Proofs of Service in hand, we “walk" the Default Application thru directly to the default clerk responsible for entering defaults. 

Final Judgment in Validation - After the publication process is complete and default entered, we submit your Final Judgment to the applicable department and maintain contact with them until the judgment is signed. This process keeps you in control and can save many days of unnecessary waiting and processing time.

We also make arrangements to have a Certified copy of the Final Judgment available, so it can be recorded on the same day the judgment is signed. Again, this saves times since there is no delay in waiting for the original Final Judgment to make its way thru the court “pipeline” in order to get a Certified copy for recordation purposes.
