FAQ
The way to reach a safe deposit box is by doing a bank levy.The judgment creditor usually pays an additional fee for opening the safe deposit box which includes a fee for a locksmith to open the box and sheriff to appear and take the property in the box into their possession.
A deputy is analogous to an attorney-in-fact. Both are appointed by the renter and either can be removed by the renter at any time. In both cases their power ends at the death of the renter. The deputy can be described as a "limited" power of attorney, the power is limited to a particular box at a specific institution.
Contrary to popular wisdom, the terms of a safe deposit box agreement with a financial institution typically describe a lessor/lessee relationship. As a result, most safe deposit box agreements only govern the use of the box; they do not govern the ownership of its contents.
The power of attorney itself cannot do anything.The recipient of the POA, the attorney-in-fact (agent or AIF) is the party who may or may not get authority to access the box in the POA. You have to see the POA document to know whether safe deposit access is specifically included.
