Safe deposit boxes
When a person who has a safe deposit box dies, the financial institution where the box is located is required to open the box at the request of interested parties. Missouri law requires the bank or other institution to deliver a will found in the safe deposit box to probate court. Life insurance policies must be given to the beneficiaries and funeral instructions delivered to the appropriate person.
