54 - Handling Service When the Recipient Has a Legal Guardian

Serving someone who has a legal guardian sounds simple at the door, but hand the papers to the wrong person—or to only one of the two people who needed them—and you might be driving back out there in two years to do it all over again. In this episode, we break down the different types of guardianships, why power of attorney isn't a pass for personal service, and when state rules require you to serve both the fiduciary and the protected person. Plus, hear real-world stories from the field on handling care facilities, minors, refusals, and the exact affidavit details that keep a court auditor from kicking your service back.
