Maine Instructions for Filing a Summary Personal Property Recovery Case are legal procedures used to recover personal property that has been wrongfully taken or withheld from an individual. The process begins with filing a Complaint with the court that will set out the facts of the case and the remedies that are being sought. The Complaint must be served upon the other party in the case, and they must then file an answer to the Complaint.
