In the realm of legal documents within the State of Michigan, the MC 17 form plays a crucial role, serving as an official declaration that a judgment has been completely satisfied. This form, approved by the court and recognized by the State of Michigan Judicial District and Judicial Circuit, acts as a consequential document for plaintiffs, defendants, and the court itself. It marks the resolution of a judgment, indicating that all debts or obligations ordered by the court have been fulfilled. The process to officially declare a judgment satisfied involves three critical endorsements: by the party responsible for satisfying the judgment (either the plaintiff or attorney), the Clerk of the Court, and, following a hearing, the judge. Each of these endorsements confirms the full payment and satisfaction of the judgment, effectively closing the case from a financial perspective. Furthermore, the MC 17 form includes a certificate of mailing, ensuring that all parties involved, including their attorneys, are formally notified of the judgment's satisfaction through ordinary mail, as documented in the addresses provided. This procedure underscores the transparency and finality of the judgment satisfaction process, facilitating smooth communication among all parties involved.
