See How You Actually Might Have Unclaimed Treasure In Montana

Are You Owed Unclaimed Money?

Montana is also known as the Treasure State, and you might actually be owed some "treasure" from the state.

Every year the state of Montana has millions of dollars go unclaimed. Everything from old bank accounts, insurance claims, stocks, bonds, can and does get left behind. It could be that someone died without telling others about those things, or perhaps they even forgot all about them themselves.

How Do You Claim Your "Treasure?"

Turns out the state of Montana has to hold all that unclaimed property indefinitely. That is just in case a relative years down the road comes looking for all that "treasure."

To see if you're owed any money go to the the TransAction Portal from the Montana.gov official state website. Scroll down to the "unclaimed property" section then click "search for unclaimed cash."

From there just simply enter in your information, the information of a family member or even a business that you are wondering about.  If anything tied to that name is unclaimed you'll get a list of results.  You might even find there is more than one. After that you can just follow the onscreen instructions and submit your claim.

Sadly I don't have any lost "treasure" out there, but it is worth it to take a look. It's also a whole lot easier than following a map and digging in the dirt only to find nothing.
