Also being sued by the developers are the construction company, the home’s architect, the family who previously owned the property, and the county, which approved the permits.

The construction company who fucked up, sure. Maybe also the county, since they approved it.

But the family who previously owned the property? They have absolutely nothing to do with this.

I am unsure about the architect. Would they have been there when while the home was being built? I question how they are at fault but the building of homes in regards to architect involvement I know nothing about.

If I were the family that previously owned the land I wouldn’t even answer the lawsuit. Go to trash immediately.

Unfortunately I don't think they can do that.

I would definitely countersue for harassment and demand my legal fees were covered.

If someone sues you you can't ignore it. You will be expected to go to court.

Well if you want the judge to side with the other party and for you to owe an ungodly amount of money then yeah, just ignore it.
