FL-115: Proof of Service of Summons in a California property case

Records how and when the petition and summons were served.

Where it fits in the property workflow

Service timing can matter to case deadlines, but this form does not prove service of the financial disclosures.

Always open the official California Courts page before use. It provides the current revision, current download and any translations or instructions; this guide intentionally does not host a copy that can become stale.

Prepare before touching the form

  • Identify every document included with service
  • Record the server and exact date, time and method
  • Keep the filed proof separate from disclosure-service records

The handoff to the next document

Record what form FL-115 proves, what it merely reports, and the source documents behind its financial statements. The same asset, debt, date and amount should not acquire a new identity simply because it crosses from an intake schedule to a pleading, proof, attachment or judgment package.

Boundary to keep visible

FL-115 and FL-141 prove different service events. Do not treat one as interchangeable with the other.

Review pointUse the current official FL-115 and its instructions. Local rules, case posture and later form revisions can change what belongs in a particular filing.
