I just took possession of a property and there is a safe in one of the
closets. The safe is about 36"x36"x24" deep. The previous owner was
an elderly man and no longer remember the combinations. Me and a
buddy tried to move it and it would not move an inch...we think it is
at least 500 pounds in weight.

Is there a way to get it opened? If I call a locksmith and they come
open it does it mean they will break it in order to get it open or is
there a way to open it and reset the combinations so it may be used?

Thanks,

MC



In addition to what the others have said, you might want to call the lawyer
you used for your will (simply because it's a name you already have), and
see if he/she can recommend anyone. I can't imagine this is the first time
they would've heard of a situation like this. You might get two benefits
from the phonecall: A bit of advice with regard to the legality of what
you're doing, and the name of an experienced locksmith, as opposed to just
picking a name out of the phone book.
