I was lookin at tax records trying to determine were a deceased relative's property was located In MT.  I noticed several of the surrounding properties are owned by two folks out of state and the properties were obtained by conversion. How does real estate conversion work?

Real property cannot be converted.  Do you mean conveyance?

Would you please give more details as to what you actually mean?  I don't mean to be disrespectful at all.  I just don't understand the question.

Sure. The MT GIS website provides ownership information if you click on a location.  For Interest type on several of the properties it says "Conversion".  What does that mean?

Equitable conversion maybe? Not sure why they'd make that explicit in the ownership records.

Must be something peculiar to Montana.  As Zcwilkins explained in his link, conversion is a matter of personal property and not real property.  Why it would be recorded with title is puzzling, unless the conversion has become a cloud on title in the form of a lien.
