Montana is currently holding over $90 million in unclaimed funds!
Unclaimed or abandoned property is usually money from wages, checks, refunds, bank accounts and other sources.
Unclaimed or abandoned property also includes intangible property, such as stocks and bonds, and tangible personal property, such as the contents of a safe deposit box or personal property held in escrow.
Montana holds unclaimed funds until such time as the owner or someone authorized to act on the owner’s behalf makes a legitimate claim for the property.
You can submit a claim for your unclaimed property online. You may also contact the department by email or call 866-859-2254 to initiate a claim.
When submitting your claim, be sure to include all required documents necessary to verify ownership and identity.
The department will approve or deny your claim and give written notice of the decision to you within 90 days after you file the claim.
If the claim is denied, the department will inform you of the reasons for denial and specify what additional evidence you’ll need to provide before the department will approve the claim.
If you are able to provide the additional evidence, you can then file a new claim with the administrator.
After a claim is approved, the property or the net proceeds of a sale of the property must be delivered or paid by the administrator within 30 days together with any dividend, interest, or other increments you are entitled to.
Originals or photo copies of any of the following documents can help to substantiate the right to claim the property: death certificate; birth certificate; marriage license of claimant or decendent; complete last will and testament; insurance policy; document establishing trust; power of attorney; indemnity bond; articles of incorporation; final account of decree of distribution; valid driver’s license; social security card; voter registration card; court document showing appointment as personal representative, executor, executrix, conservator, etc.; and affidavit of authority to receive and disburse funds for the person or company.

I just want to know if I have any unclaimed funds.
My son was a Sergeant in the Army he was killed in March of 2012 in North Carolina where he was station I was trying to see if he had any unclaimed money out in the world he lived in Oklahoma City then join the Army then he was sent to Jerman then Iraq and Afghanistan just need some help to know how to find out Thank you in advance his name was Sergeant Kevin Dewayne Moseby
Denise,
First off, I’m very sorry for your loss. It’s shame he was in some very dangerous parts of the world to have something happen in his own country. I looked in Oklahoma and North Carolina and did not find anything under Kevin Moseby. However, I did a search at missingmoney.com and a Dewayne Moseby came up with money (they only say “over $100”) in St. Louis. Was he ever in Missouri? Maybe he did business with a company that was based in Missouri? It’s possible that they used the Dewayne and not Kevin but you would need to try to claim it to be sure one way or another. I wish you good luck.
