<p>[QUOTE=&quot;marid3, post: 1362437, member: 35968&quot;]I worked at a bank for years. There was an old woman-regular customer for YEARS. Her daughter and son-in-law died in a car accident a couple of years before, and she was guardian for the 15 year old grandson. She put his name on the safe deposit box, because, well, she was old. He died in a motorcycle accident, and we (I was there that day) had to seize the box and report it to the state department of revenue. The contents were inventoried and she had to pay tax to the state on half of her own damn belongings. She was poor and lived on a fixed income. I&#039;ll never forget the insult we added to her suffering - required by law. Since 9/11 and the Patriot Act, and numerous other small acts affecting the banking, financial industry, I would caution people to carefully consider a safe-deposit box before putting valuables in there. Just a word of caution. </p><p>Happy collecting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
