Most people spend less than an hour with us the first time. What they leave with is a box, a key, and a signed list of everything in it.

A conversation first

Call or book a visit. Fifteen minutes on the phone is usually enough to work out what you have, what you need, and whether a box is the right answer at all. Sometimes it is not, and we will say so.

Intake, on paper

You are identified against government-issued photo ID. Everything that goes in is listed on a signed inventory, and you keep a copy. What exists becomes a document rather than a memory. Not near Fort Lauderdale? Documents can be mailed in, and we mail the box key back to you.

The box

A private box in a 9R-rated vault behind two 14,000-pound doors, engineered for a Category 5 storm. Rented in your name, jointly, or by a trust — whichever your attorney recommends.

When you need it

Access by appointment, identified and logged every time. Originals come out when they are needed and go back when they are not. Producing a document becomes an errand instead of a project.

By mail

Not in South Florida?

You do not have to come to Fort Lauderdale. Documents can be mailed in. We place everything in your box and mail the key back to you.

Call first. We will tell you what to send and how, and set up the rental in the name your attorney recommends before anything leaves your hands.

The same rules apply as for a visit: you are identified before a box is opened in your name, and every access is recorded.

What to bring

Less than you would think.

Government-issued photo ID. It is checked at the first visit and at every visit after.
The originals you want kept, unsorted. Sorting is our job, not yours.
If a trust or company will rent the box, the documents that show who may act for it.
Nothing you would not want a court to see. Everything here is logged and discoverable.

Questions about the box itself

What do people use instead of safe deposit boxes?

Private vault boxes, home safes and specialist depositories are the usual alternatives to a bank safe deposit box. Many banks have reduced or closed box services at branches, which is why the question comes up at all.

Can both spouses have access to a vault box?

A vault box can be rented by one person, by two people jointly, or in the name of a trust or company, and the rental agreement decides who may enter. Choosing that structure before it matters is the useful part.

When you are ready, we are here.

A short phone call is usually enough to know whether a box is the right answer. Sometimes it is not, and we will say so.
