61 Pa. Code § 93.41 — Entry into safe deposit box after notice to the Department

ENTRY UPON NOTICE TO DEPARTMENT (a) This section is intended to apply as an alternative for entry into the safe deposit box of a decedent. If an individual does not wish to follow these provisions to secure entry into a safe deposit box, he may enter the box after he has mailed a notice by certified mail to the Department, the local office of the Department, and also the financial institution in which the box is located, specifying the date fixed for entry and the place where the box is located. Notice of entry under this section shall be made so that the date fixed for entry and contained in the notice may not be less than 7 days after the date the notice is mailed. In computing the 7 days, the day the notice is mailed may not be computed. For example, if the notice was mailed on January 1, 1962, in computing the 7 days, the computation would begin January 2, and would include the third through the eighth and entry could be made on the ninth or thereafter. (b) The notice shall be printed or written legibly in ink and shall contain the following information: (1) The name and address of the decedent. (2) The name and address of the financial institution where the safe deposit box is located. (3) The exact time during normal business hours of the financial institution when entry is to be made, whether daylight or standard time. (4) The applicant for entry shall sign and print his name and address, stating his relationship, if any, to the decedent. Cross References This section cited in 61 Pa.
