Have you heard of eDelivery™? It's a new, secure, and respectful way to deliver legal documents that improves everyone's experience.
What Is Legal Document Delivery?
Legal document delivery, officially known as service of process, is a critical component of our legal system. It ensures that all parties involved in a legal action or lawsuit are notified and given a fair opportunity to understand or defend their positions. This is a fundamental aspect of due process, protecting everyone's rights under the law.
An unbiased third party, such as a law enforcement agent or a process server, carries out service of process. These individuals deliver the necessary legal documents directly to the people involved in the case. This delivery can take various forms:
- Personal Service: The delivery agent hands the documents directly to the person named on the documents.
- Substitute Service: When personal service isn’t possible, documents may be delivered to a qualified co-resident or a representative of the named party, as long as local laws permit it.
- Alternative Service: If other methods fail, the court may allow alternative methods of service,such as publication or mailing.
What Is eDelivery™?
For years, the legal system has relied on paper documents,but the digital age is transforming how legal processes work. eDelivery™ is the next step forward. Supported by ABC Legal's patent for the digital delivery of legal process,eDelivery™ facilitates both physical and digital delivery using our Secure Service Portal™.
eDelivery™ modernizes legal document delivery and ensures security, efficiency, and respect for all parties involved. The innovation simplifies the process and gives recipients the flexibility traditional methods lack.
The Benefits of eDelivery™ for Recipients
eDelivery™ provides service of process recipients with an unparalleled level of flexibility and control. It's a faster alternative to traditional delivery methods, all while maintaining discretion, security, and user-friendliness. Here are some of the key benefits:
It’s Convenient
eDelivery™ introduces a much-needed advancement, bridging the gap between modern digital convenience and the traditionally physical process of document delivery.For the first time in years, the focus is on the recipient's needs, offering them a significant improvement in service of process.
Most individuals lead busy lives. People aren't always home and may not be around or available to receive legal documents when a process server drops by. With eDelivery™, we cater to this reality. Recipients who utilize the ABC Legal Secure Service Portal™ have the flexibility to:
- Provide a better address for delivery
- Schedule a delivery time that works for them
- Accept the documents digitally
It’s Secure
Your security is our priority. eDelivery™ uses a two-factor authentication (2FA) method to ensure that only the intended recipient can access the documents. 2FA requires users to verify their identity through two pieces of information, adding an extra layer of protection.
With eDelivery™, access codes are left at an address where the intended recipient is known to live or sent via email. Even then, recipients must verify their identity using the last four digits of their Social Security Number before entering the Secure Service Portal™.
This helps ensure that documents go to the intended recipient only, even more so than traditional delivery methods, which rely on verbal agreement or visual verification of identity.
