I'm answering a court summons to some allegations and I need to know how I would answer this it says this is a declaratory action under Florida statute *.* because plaintiff is asking judgment from the court on the existence or non-existence of a right that the plaintiff believes she has
Hi Marhonda,
To respond to a court summons, especially for a declaratory action under Florida Statute *.*, you need to:
- Review the summons and complaint thoroughly.
- Draft an answer acknowledging or denying each allegation.
- State any defenses or counterclaims you have.
Do you have any specific questions about the allegations or need help drafting your response?
Okay we sold our home and land and now answering a court summons for allegations and I was wondering how do I answer the allegation when they are saying that there was a mobile home on the property when there wasn't a mobile home
Hi Marhonda,
To answer the specific allegation about the mobile home, you should:
- Clearly deny the allegation in your written response.
- Provide any evidence that supports your denial (e.g., property records, photographs).
- Specify that at no point during your ownership was there a mobile home on the property.

*. **Clarification**: "The trailer was repossessed before Defendant purchased the property."
