Pacific Coast Field Services offers various services such as process serving, skip tracing, foreclosure services and inspection services.

Service of process is the legal procedure to give notice to a person of a court or administrative body against them. The legal documents served to them could be a summons, notice, petition, subpoena, or any other paperwork legally required to be copied and given to the other party in the case. This enables that person to respond to the proceeding before the court, body, or other tribunal. Although documents are often served to one or more individuals, corporations and governments also need to be served if they are being sued. There are many legal requirements involved with the process of service and they vary by state.

If someone does not make their mortgage payments, their lender can take their property. The process they use to take the property is called foreclosure. This is the legal process they use to recover the balance of the loan when a property owner fails to meet the obligations of the loan. 

Property inspections are usually only done if someone is in default on their mortgage payments, and their lender might order monthly property inspections to ensure that they are taking care of the property. Property inspections are different from a home inspection that someone might have had done to buy a home.
