How many days do a Defendant has to answer a Summons in a civil case (Quiet Title -General Jurisdiction) case? If more than one defendent is listed and they are all served at different times is the time the same for all?

The summons you received is misleading. Do not attempt to answer the complaint by filling out a form. Call a lawyer.
