How do you answer a summons from another state?
The Complaint that is attached to the summons is the document you would respond to. If the Complaint was filed in another state, you would send your Answer to the Clerk of that court from which the Complaint arose, along with whatever that court charges for a filing fee. Generally speaking, if a lawsuit is filed against you in another state, it would be a good idea to hire an attorney within that state to represent you.
If a crime took place in one state but no charges were filled in that state can another state file charges for that crime?
If a crime is committed in one state, the crime is a violation of state law, that state does not file charges, and the perpetrator moves to another state, the second state does not have jurisdiction to file charges. However, the first state can file charges anytime until the Statute of Limitations on that particular crime runs out. This can be years later, and some crimes have no Statute of Limitations. Then they can seek the extradition of the accused to face charges where the crime was committed. The second state will likely graant the extradition request unless an insufficiency of evidence is established during extradition hearings. If the crime was a violation of Federal Law, charges would be filed by the Federal government and it would not matter what state the perpetrator went to. The Federal Government has jurisdiction in all states for Federal crimes. In some cases, the Federal Government can take the acused into custody on the grounds of crossing state lines to avoid prosecution, which itself can be a Federal crime.
When you file charges on some one and they are having to go to court does the person that filed charges on them have to go to court also?

Initiative and referendum petitions must be filed with?
The answer to this question is state specific as it depends on the statutes or Constitution of the state in which the initiative or referendum petition would be filed. My experience is in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts where I served in the House of Representatives. In Massachusetts, the Initiative and Referendum petitions are filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth. If the person who filed this inquiry indicated the state in which he/she would be filing, we can provide an more accurate response.
Which state's statute of limitations applies if you do not live in the state where the judgment is filed?
The SOL where the judgment is filed would be the one used. However, when a the debtor moves to another state the usual procedure is to file an abstract judgment against property that the debtor now owns in the new state. There are a few cases where a transfer of judgment is not allowed. The deciding factor would be how the judgment is to be executed and the type of litigation it is in conjunction with.
Are wills filed with the state?
Generally a will would be filed wherever the decedent last lived. However, if the decedent owned real property in any other jurisdictions (states) the will would also need to be filed in the probate court where the land is located in order to vest title to that land in the heirs. In Massachusetts that would be a Petition For Allowance of a Foreign Will.
What usually happens to criminal charges for a bad check after bankruptcy?
Normally if the bad checks are included in bankruptcy the charges will be dropped. I really hope this helps you. I filed before charges were filed against me but I have a friend that had 4 outstanding payday loans and they had filed charges for bad checks. The charges were dropped immediately.
