Pennsylvania Answer to Petition To is a legal document that is filed by a defendant in response to a civil lawsuit that has been filed against them. A Pennsylvania Answer to Petition To can include a denial of the allegations, an admission of the allegations, a request for more information, and/or a counterclaim. There are two types of Pennsylvania Answer to Petition To: a Standard Answer and an Answer and Counterclaim. A Standard Answer includes only a denial of the allegations and is generally used when the defendant does not wish to file a counterclaim. An Answer and Counterclaim includes a denial of the allegations along with any counterclaims the defendant wishes to make. Both types of answers must be filed within 20 days of the service of the complaint.
