Montana Unclaimed Money

Have you forgotten about a checking or savings account, an old uncashed check, gift certificate, stock, safety deposit box, etc.? Montana is considered a "custodial state" and holds such property on behalf of the owners of lost or abandoned property. Unclaimed property is reported to Montana when the owner's last known address is located in the state. The Montana Department of Revenue is responsible for finding owners of unclaimed intangible personal property turned over to the state.

The Montana Department of Revenue handles the state's unclaimed property, which includes such items as money, uncashed checks, drafts, state warrants, uncashed payroll checks, utility deposits, interest dividends or income, savings and checking accounts, safe deposit box contents, credit balances, customer overpayments, gift certificates, unidentified remittances, stocks, bonds and uncashed coupons.
