A safe deposit box is
considered legally unclaimed and abandoned when there has been no
contact with the owner or heir and the lease has expired, with no
further rental payments made.
This often happens after
the untimely death of a family member, following name changes after
marriage or divorce, and after the expiration of a mail forwarding
order after a move.
Did a deceased family
member have a safe deposit box at a depository that moved, changed
its name or closed? Don’t assume that because your bank, savings and
loan or credit union no longer exists that box contents are lost
forever. The box may have been transferred to another bank, or to a
government custodian after a merger or acquisition.
