Application For Appointment Of A Commissioner To Report On The Contents Of A Safe Deposit Box {2.8}

SCPC FORM 2.8 - APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT OF A COMMISSIONER TO REPORT ON THE CONTENTS OF A SAFE DEPOSIT BOX. This form is used in the Probate Court of Stark County, Ohio, when someone needs to access a deceased person’s safe deposit box. The applicant requests the court to appoint a commissioner to open and inventory the box in the presence of a financial institution employee and the applicant. The primary purpose of this process is to retrieve and submit the decedent’s will(s) and codicil(s) to the court while documenting the box’s full contents. The court order explicitly states that no other property may be removed from the box without further legal authority, such as Letters of Authority or another court order. Once the box is opened, the commissioner, the applicant, and the bank employee must sign and file a report listing the contents with the court by a specified deadline. This ensures proper legal oversight and prevents unauthorized access to the decedent’s assets. www.FormsWorkflow.com
