SUPERIOR COURT CIVIL ACTION
DOCKET NO.:WISSC-RE-2025-005
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SERVICE BY ALTERNATE MEANS
Title to Real Estate is Involved
421 Washington Road, Jefferson, Maine 04348
Mortgage recorded in Lincoln County Registry of Deeds at Book 5643, Page 93
This matter being before the Court on March 14., 2025 upon Plaintiffs’ Motion for Service by Alternate Means, for good cause shown, the Court finds that Plaintiffs have performed a diligent search and other efforts to effect personal service on Defendants, were unable to serve notice of this action on Defendants personally or by mail and that service cannot be effected by another prescribed method.
Plaintiff has commenced a civil action for foreclosure of a mortgage on real property situated at 421 Washington Road, Jefferson, Lincoln County, Maine. This action may affect the interests of Zachary Genthner and Brittany Peirce in the property.
The Court further finds that service by publication of this Order in the Lincoln County News is reasonably calculated to provide actual notice of the pendency of the action to the Defendants and is the most practical method of effecting notice of the foreclosure action.
It is therefore Ordered that Plaintiffs have satisfied the requirements of M.R.Civ.P. 4(g)(ii) and that Plaintiffs may effect service upon the Defendants by publishing this order once per week for three (3) successive weeks in the Lincoln County News, being a newspaper of general circulation in Lincoln County and by mailing a copy to the last known addresses of Defendants.
