Mont. Code Ann. § 72-3-214

Power of clerk to deny informal probate – effect of denial

(1) If the clerk is not satisfied that a will is entitled to be probated in informal proceedings because of failure to meet the requirements of 72-3-212 and 72-3-213 or any other reason, the clerk may decline the application.

(2) A declination of informal probate is not an adjudication and does not preclude formal probate proceedings.
