<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 372719, member: 4626&quot;]Most of those situations where the contents of your box can be seized also apply to <i>all</i> (or most) of your personal assets anyway, whether in a safety deposit box or not.&nbsp; Any form of legal judgement against you (especially from the IRS) can result in seizure of any of your assets (only exception is certain personal property that can be expempted even in the case of bankrupcy).&nbsp; If you die your estate can be taxed, which includes anything you own at the time of your death, in a box or not; once it is taxed anything passed to your heirs isn&#039;t subject to tax (to them anyway.&nbsp; After you estate is taxed, what your heirs inherit is not treated as taxable income to them).</p><p><br /></p><p>Safety deposit box contents are no more or less vunerable to legal seizure than anything else you own, and they&#039;re significantly better protected from theft.&nbsp; Overall it&#039;s a significantly safer place to store things than your own home.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
