FAQ
While nearly anything of value can be stored in a safety deposit box, there are some things that probably shouldn't go in. Chief among these are any important legal documents that you, or your family, might need to access in an emergency.
Here are the steps to get a safe deposit box: Decide what you want to store. This dictates the box size you'll need. Decide who can access the box.Make an appointment with the bank.Open the account and sign the agreement.Get your key and put your items in the safe deposit box.
Safe deposit boxes are very secure as banks store such boxes in a locked vault, and to unlock it, typically, two keys are required: a client key and a key held by the bank or credit union. Bank customers can access the box by visiting the branch, producing identification, and providing the key.
Banks do have a key that can open your safety deposit box, but your key also needs to be present. In other words, you or your bank can't open the box without both keys unless you drill into the lock. The key the bank has is also known as a guard key.
It's too much risk for the bank because the lost key might still be able to open the same box if the lock is not changed. Any person with the lost key can open the box, especially when the person is familiar with the renter and knows which box belongs to the key.
Determination of Heirship Proceedings In this method of probate, a personal representative is not appointed to handle estate affairs. Instead, a petitioner petitions the court to determine who the decedent's heirs are under Missouri law and informs the court of what assets need to go through probate.
Authorized signature: When the safe deposit account is opened, all persons authorized to access the box sign a signature card. The bank allows only those individuals to open the box. From then on, the bank records the signature of any individual allowed to open the box.
Only an authorised person, a joint owner, or someone with a key can access your safety deposit box.
