Re: Land Contract (Strict Foreclosure)
Greetings,
Unfortunately, real estate can be complicated and it is not possible to do much through the internet. Yes, a summons must be done along with the complaint and both are served upon the defendant by the sheriff or process server. It is difficult to do a lawsuit like a foreclosure without a lawyer. I am concerned about what you said about title. Usually you don't sign that over until the contract is over.
Best wishes,
