Settlement Release Document Options

Summary

In Minnesota, a .Pdf copy of a settlement release is generally sufficient for enforcement if it accurately represents the original. If the original was mailed but not received, consider resending the .Pdf copy and use certified mail for future correspondence to ensure proof of delivery. Verify with opposing counsel or court if a .Pdf is acceptable.
