It's generally required that a person with whom is being searched or having their property searched under the terms of a search warrant be served with a copy upon the beginning or completion of a search. If the warrant was lost you could request a copy from the clerk of courts. You may be able to also have the evidence suppressed because you were not properly served with a copy of the warrant upon the beginning or ending of a search.


Does the day the judge signs the search warrant count?

What is the time frame on a search warrant?

Unclear what the questioner is asking. . . that the warrant was supposed to be served at a specific time, on a specific date? The only time/date that I am aware of that appears on search warrants is the time/date that it was prepared and the judge or magistrate signed it. If the question is referring to a 'drop-dead' date by which the warrant must be served or becomes invalid. . . then the answer depends on the type of warrant it is, and what it was issued for.
