<p class="MsoNormal">Decedent and decedent’s sister are both named on a safe deposit box in Seattle at Chase Bank. The living sister is 90+ years old, infirm, and lives in another state. The PR has the key, has Letters Testamentary, and wants access—and Chase
is telling him he needs either a court order or written permission from the sister.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have never encountered this problem. The decedent never needed permission to access their own sd box; why should the PR? Am I missing something? Am I blinded by my usual rage at the endless bank bureaucracy that never allows me to talk
to the legal department but insists that their stupid position be transmitted to me via a hapless and innocent teller?<u></u><u></u></p>
