Dying Without a Will in Montana

Example

Survivors are children and grandchildren

Assume you pass away without a written will.

You have three living children and six living grandchildren. Your assets are divided equally among your three children; 1/3 to each child.

Your six grandchildren do not inherit any assets because Montana law gives priority to your living children.

If this is not the division you desire, then you need to write a will.
