Safe deposit boxes are commonly used to protect valuable belongings and important documents (such as insurance policies, financial documents, a will or a trust). However, it is easy to overlook what will happen to that safe deposit box after you die or you became incapacitated. The unintended consequences could be devastating or as your family or loved ones might not know that a safe deposit box exists or where to locate it.
