The Montana Declaration of Homestead Abandonment is a legal document that must be filed by a homesteader when the homestead is no longer being used and the homesteader no longer has an interest in the property. The declaration is used to terminate the homesteader's rights to the property and is filed with the county clerk and recorder's office in the county where the property is located. There are two types of Montana Declaration of Homestead Abandonment: voluntary and involuntary. The voluntary declaration is used when the homesteader voluntarily relinquishes their rights to the property, while the involuntary declaration is used if the homesteader fails to file a voluntary declaration and the county clerk initiates the process. Both types of declarations require the homesteader to provide information about the property, such as the legal description, the amount of acreage, and the names of any other individuals with an interest in the property. The declaration must also be signed by the homesteader and notarized.
