SECTION 655.938. Adverse claims to contents of safe-deposit box.

Latest version.

1(1) 2An 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:
32(a) 33The 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 the lessee with the name in which the safe-deposit box is leased or the property held; or
83(b) 84The 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 a written statement of facts disclosing that it is made by, or on behalf of, a beneficiary and that there is reason to know that the fiduciary will misappropriate the trust property.
156(2) 157A claim is also an adverse claim if one of several lessees claims, contrary to the terms of the lease, an exclusive right of access, or if 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 if it is claimed that a lessee is the same person as one using another name.
