First, you should always ask about the existence of a safe deposit box at every bank at which the deceased person had an account. Many times, the answer will be that there is none; however, once in a while you will get surprised. Second, check the Unclaimed Property link on the State Division of Taxation website. Finally, ask members of the deceased's family, or even close friends, what banks the deceased used over the years. If you get the name of a bank that is no longer is existence, check the web for a list of banks and to whom they were sold. Good question, Scott.

What are some ways to find out which bank the decedent may have left a safety deposit box? If there was a will it may have been created years ago and a few banks ago. You know what I mean?
