Money Unclaimed
Do you have a lost treasure in Montana?
Under Montana's Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, the Montana Department of Revenue is responsible for finding owners of unclaimed intangible personal property turned over to the state. Montana is considered a "custodial state" and holds such property on behalf of the owners of lost or abandoned property.
There are two easy ways to conduct a search: ask the department to conduct a search for you, or conduct the search online yourself.
Requesting a search
If you want the Department of Revenue to conduct a search of unclaimed property for you, please call (406) 444-6900. A Customer Service Representative will assist you by doing a search on our system. If you do have property, we will generate a pre-populated claim form and a check list of the documentation that is required to process your claim. Remitting the documentation identified on the check list along with your signed and notarized claim form will expedite the processing of your claim by the department.
Online
Montana 's unclaimed property is listed in the Web database of MissingMoney.com . MissingMoney.com is a free national search engine that locates consumers' lost assets and unclaimed property. Unclaimed property listings from 34 states and the District of Columbia are available for search on the site.
The unclaimed property handled by the department includes, but is not limited to, money, uncashed checks, drafts, state warrants, utility deposits, interest dividends or income, safe deposit box contents, credit balances, savings and checking accounts, customer overpayments, gift certificates, uncashed payroll checks, unidentified remittances, stocks, bonds and uncashed coupons.
If you have questions about this procedure, please call us at (406) 444-6900
