Answer:
No, if you sign a waiver of service you relieve the plaintiff and give up a right to proof of service. A waiver of service waives the right to formal notification. It may be used in a number of situations, such as during the process of probating a will, or when a corporate Board of Directors needs to hold an emergency meeting. The use of a waiver of notice is commonly to allow legal proceedings to be more timely and efficient.
