Montana Rules Lien on Motor Vehicles Requires Title to Registrar
Attorney General Arnold Olsen ruled that liens on motor vehicles in Montana are valid only if the certificate of title is delivered to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles with the lien endorsed. The 1943 statute requires delivery of ownership certificates at lien filing time, a point raised for possible federal government applicability. The Bureau of Internal Revenue files many liens for tax delinquencies and seeks the owner’s certificate.
