Adverse claims to contents of safe deposit box
Official statutory text
A. An adverse claim to the contents of a safe deposit box, or
to property held in safekeeping, is not sufficient to require the
lessor to deny access to its lessee unless:
(1) the lessor is directed to do so by a court order issued in
an action in which the lessee is served with process and named as a
party by a name which identifies him with the name in which the safe
deposit box is leased or the property held; or
(2) the safe deposit box is leased or the property is held in
the name of a lessee with the addition of words indicating that the
contents or property are held in a fiduciary capacity, and the
adverse claim is supported by an affidavit stating facts disclosing
that it is made by or on behalf of a beneficiary and that there is a

reason to believe that the fiduciary may misappropriate the trust
property.
B. A claim is also adverse where one of several lessees claims,
contrary to the terms of the lease, an exclusive right of access, or
where one or more persons claim a right of access as agents or
officers of a lessee to the exclusion of others as agents or
officers, or where it is claimed that a lessee is the same person as
one using another name.
