The Trustee of the case objected to Debtor’s claim of exemption. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Montana certified a question to the Supreme Court regarding whether a Debtor may claim an exemption in an IRA pursuant to Mont. Code Ann. 25-13-608(1)(e). The Supreme Court answered the question in the negative, holding that, under Montana’s liberal construction of exemptions, a debtor may not claim an exemption to an inherited IRA under section 25-13-608(1)(e).
