Upon presentation of a death certificate, most banks will permit the decedent's next-of-kin to conduct such a search. If the box was registered in joint names with someone other than the decedent's spouse, a will search will usually be permitted by the surviving renter. The will search must be conducted in the presence of a bank employee, and if a will is found, it is usually released to the person named as executor. Since a will search is permitted readily, keeping your will in a safe deposit box causes very little problem. Keeping your will at home with your other valuable papers or leaving it with your attorney are also suitable alternatives. Wherever you keep your will, you should let your family know where it is located and any copy should bear a notation indicating the location of the original.
