Re: How do safe deposit boxes work? The rates vary quite a bit between banks, so it's best to shop around. The fees are charged annually. There are penalties if you don't return both keys. Most banks require you to have an account at the bank.
My bank charges $38 (plus tax) per year.
It's highly recommended that you keep important papers (e.g., deeds, wills, automobile titles, birth certificates, naturalization certificates) in a safe deposit box. |

Our lawyer does not recommend keeping wills in a safe deposit box. One's demise will usually cause the safe deposit box to be sealed for some period of time, which would mean that the will is not accessible to whomever one has designated as executor. Our lawyer recommended getting one of the fireproof boxes for wills, living wills, power of attorney's, etc. and keeping them in the fireproof box. |

You can also add a second (or third) name to the box and access it after death. |

I think I will take my lawyer's advice. |

New Jersey | If your lawyer says the box will be sealed, you need to get a new lawyer.

| No, thanks. I honestly don't remember if she said any thing about the sealing, but she did recommend the fire proof box. |
