Service of Papers on an Attorney

Part 2, Title 9, Division 1, Chapter 4, Article 1 deals with service of writs, notices, and other papers on the attorney of a creditor or debtor.

Section 684.010 states that, when a notice, order, or other paper is required to be served under this title on the judgment creditor, it must be served on the judgment creditor’s attorney of record rather than on the judgment creditor if the judgment creditor has an attorney of record.

Section 684.020 specifies that, when a writ, notice, order, or other paper is required to be served under this title on the judgment debtor, it must be served on the judgment debtor instead of the attorney for the judgment debtor. The writ, notice, order, or other paper is to be served on the attorney specified by the judgment debtor rather than on the judgment debtor if all three specified requirements are satisfied.

Section 684.040 requires, if service on an attorney is required under this article, service on the attorney is to be made in any of the three specified ways.

Section 684.050 provides that service on the attorney for the judgment creditor or the judgment debtor pursuant to the provisions of this article constitutes service on the judgment creditor or judgment debtor for the purposes of this title.
