In my opinion it is a good idea if you have items that you would like
to keep more safely than they would be in a dresser drawer. Things
like car titles, property deeds, wills, etc. come to mind.


NEVER put a will in the box. It is sealed when the person dies and you
can not get to it for a while. There has to be an officer of the court
(referred to as the tax man eairly) present to list the contents of the
box.



Your attorney should have a copy of your will, unless you were too cheap to
pay an attorney a couple hundred bucks to draw up your will.

Yeah Joe- that way he can charge your heirs a percentage to probate it
when you cease to be.
