New York Answer in Writing and Verification (CIV-LT-91b) is a form used for the civil litigation process in the state of New York. It is used to provide a written response to a summons, complaint, or other legal document that has been served on the defendant. The form must be verified by the defendant or their attorney and, if applicable, signed by the attorney. It must then be filed with the court. There are two types of CIV-LT-91b forms: a long-form version and a short-form version. The long-form version includes additional space for information that may be pertinent to the action. The short-form version is used if the defendant does not wish to provide additional information.
