A Certificate of Placement Is Not Service of Process
Three Proofs named the types. This paper walks a single estate or tax-sale instrument through certificate, affidavit, hash, and the constitutional question.
Three Proofs named the three instruments. This shorter landing walks one familiar path—an estate notice or a tax-sale notice—so the labels stay attached to one file.
A certificate of placement says what ran on Notice Nearby. It is not service of process. Service is how a known party is brought into a case under the rules of court.
An affidavit of publication swears to a newspaper or statutory run when the code still asks for that form. A hash fingerprints the filed words. Neither one is Mullane by itself.
Keep the labels straight on a single instrument and the constitutional question stays clear: which method was used for whom, and what the statute still requires.
