If you die tomorrow, what does your family need to know today?

Where is the key to the safe deposit box at the bank?

Where is the key to the safe deposit box at the bank?

Most importantly, empty out the safety deposit out immediately before they find out the box owner/renter is deceased. The bank can put a hold on the box immediately if they find out the box renter is dead. (this happened when my dad passed away, and really gave my mom grief, even though her name was on the account). It was a real pain to get things sorted out. This should be one of the very first things you should do, once you find that key.

Just having a key to the SDB won't get you in it. The holder of a key must also be listed on the card with signature.
