I want to make sure that I am not giving up my rights to any award that the court may award to my sister, as she was the one who filed the law suit.The lawyer sent me a form to get notorized, and send back to him. It had those words above on it , and it sounded kind of weird to me.... Please HELP!

Which Lawyer sent it to you.?
Was it your Lawyer, or the oppositions lawyer.?
If it was yours, phone him and ask him to explain, or better yet pay to see him and have it explained and signed at same time...Notorization is not necessary in his office.
If the form came from the opposition lawyer, get YOUR LAWYER to read it and advise you.
these saftey measures can't be done after signing.

When I was 16 I objected to the term- my son- which came from not my father but a complete stranger. My mate hates being called a Chav, I can't stand the term Middle aged, it sounds more like Middle ages ! Geriatric is another bone of contention ? What about Recycled teenager or Active Pensioner ? I think I prefer Senior Citizen, but there again that is only my own personal view. That is the trouble there are always those who want to pigeonhole and steriotype everyone, but everyone is an individual, at every age level and what seems to be either applicable to the age attained, the person might be either forward or backward to those years. A friend of mine is 41 but acts like a 80 year old, my mum when at 80 acted more like a teenager, so that leaves the question why catigorise in the first place? We are all part of the human race, as long as we don't come last who cares !!lol!!

When filing a lawsuit against someone, there are specific requirements for how you need to notify them. This is called "service of process".
"Waiver of process" means that the person is waiving (making an exception) the formal requirements for notification. The most common example is where you receive a regular letter notifying you of a court case. Under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the other side (who sent you the letter) can ask you to waive the formal process requirements, since you were already notified by the letter.
By signing a "waiver of process" you are saying that the other side does not need to follow all the formal requirements to serve notice, and can do so through some other lesser means (usually spelled out in the waiver).
For anyone to be sued, the court needs to have personal jurisdiction. This means the person (or company) needs to either be within the geographic area of the court, or the court has authority over them for some other reason, such as companies that regularly do business in a state, but are actually based in a different state. Personal jurisdiction cannot be challenged if the party appears before the court.
An "Entry of Appearance" means that you re consenting to personal jurisdiction, by formally stating in writing that you would be appearing (thus granting personal jurisdiction) in any future legal matter.
"Joinder" refers to two or more parties on one side, or two or more legal issues in one case. There are legal strategies that involve combining or splitting trials for tactical reasons. By consenting to joinder, you are agreeing that you will not try any of these procedural tactics.
"Consent to Relief" is a type of stipulation (legal agreement or waiver) that says you are not going to challenge whatever relief is granted. Depending on the context and the specific wording, it may mean you aren't going to argue about the amount of money involved. That one is too broad to have a single answer, since so much depends on exactly what you are consenting to in the agreement.
If this case involves a significant amount of money, it'd be worth an hour or two of an attorney's time to have the letter reviewed by a licensed professional before you sign it. Your local county or state bar association can refer you to an appropriate attorney.

I prefer senior citizen. Just because I'm over 60 doesn't mean I am elderly. Elderly sounds like you are sick and helpless. Same with old age. I and most of my friends, their in their 70s btw, are live wires. We are out and about and living life. I always thought of the elderly as being cared for in nursing homes.
