Full text
When a safety deposit box is leased from any bank under the name of either a corporation or an unincorporated association, with the right of access being given to a person or persons authorized by a resolution of the board of directors of the corporation or of the governing body of the unincorporated association, notwithstanding the death of any such person or persons, the bank may permit the person or persons authorized by a resolution of the board of directors of the corporation or of the governing body of the unincorporated association to have free access to the safety deposit box, including the right to remove the contents thereof. In such case, the entry of any such authorized person or persons into the safety deposit box shall constitute a full release and discharge of the bank permitting such entry as to any heir, legatee, creditor, or other person having rights or claims to funds or property of the decedent. No bank, savings bank, or trust company permitting entry into the safety deposit box in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall thereby be liable for any estate, inheritance, or succession taxes which may be due this state.
