Montana Code Annotated

61-3-221. Involuntary transfer. (1) (a) An involuntary transfer of title to or any interest in a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, pole trailer,
camper, motorboat, personal watercraft, sailboat, or snowmobile may occur by operation of law through inheritance, devise, bequest, order in
bankruptcy or insolvency, execution sale, or repossession upon default in the performance of the terms of a lease, executory sales
contract, or security agreement or in any other manner other than by voluntary act of the person whose title or interest is
transferred.

Upon the involuntary transfer, the executor, administrator, receiver, trustee, sheriff, secured party, or other representative or successor
in interest of the person whose interest is transferred shall send to the department:
(i) an application for a certificate of title; and
(ii) a verified or certified statement of the transfer of interest or a transfer statement, as defined in 30-9A-619.
(b) The statement of transfer of interest must state the reason for the involuntary transfer, the interest transferred, the name of the
person to whom the interest is to be transferred, the process or procedure creating the transfer, and other information requested by
the department. A transfer statement submitted under this section must meet the requirements of (Montana) 30-9A-619.

Evidence and instruments that are required by law in order to effect a transfer of legal or equitable title to or an interest in
chattels must be submitted with the statement.

(c) Except as provided in subsection (2), if the department determines that the transfer is regular and that all legal requirements
have been complied with, the department shall send notice of the intended transfer to the owner, conditional sales vendor, lessor, mortgagee,
and other lienholder, as shown in the department's records. Deposit in the U.S. mail of the notice, postage prepaid, addressed to the person at the
respective address shown in the department's records satisfies the notice required by this section. Not less than 5 days after sending the notice,
the department shall issue a new certificate of title to the transferee.
(2) (a) Except as provided in subsection (2)(b), if an interest in a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, pole trailer, camper, motorboat,
personal watercraft, sailboat, or snowmobile that is not registered in this state is involuntarily transferred to a person in this
state, the person to whom the interest is transferred shall follow the procedure provided in subsection (1).
(b) In lieu of the statement required in subsection (1), the department may accept an affidavit of repossession as executed by the person
seeking the involuntary transfer.
(3) The department is not required to send notice for a transfer of interest occurring under subsection (2).

30-9A-619. Transfer of record or legal title. (1) In this section, "transfer statement" means a record authenticated by a secured
party (This is where The Notary Certificate of Dishonor is Relevant) stating:

(a) that the debtor has defaulted in connection with an obligation secured by specified collateral;
(b) that the secured party has exercised its post-default remedies with respect to the collateral;
(c) that, by reason of the exercise, a transferee has acquired the rights of the debtor in the collateral; and
(d) the name and mailing address of the secured party, debtor, and transferee.

(2) A transfer statement entitles the transferee to the transfer of record of all rights of the debtor in the collateral specified in
the statement in any official filing, recording, registration, or certificate of title system covering the collateral. If a transfer statement
is presented with the applicable fee and request form to the official or office responsible for maintaining the system, the official or office shall:
(a) accept the transfer statement;
(b) promptly amend its records to reflect the transfer; and
(c) if applicable, issue a new appropriate certificate of title in the name of transferee.
(3) A transfer of the record or legal title to collateral to a secured party under subsection (2) or otherwise is not of itself a disposition of collateral
under this chapter and does not of itself relieve the secured party of its duties under this chapter.
