In most cases where access has been a problem, the property in the boxes in question have been the sole property of the conservatee, and the joint tenant has been placed on the account for convenience purposes only. In some cases, the joint tenant is a relative or close friend who actually has the best interests of the conservatee in mind. In many cases, unfortunately, the joint tenant is a financial abuser, sometimes related to the conservatee, many times not. The position of some banks has been that a joint tenant may access a safe deposit box at any time, regardless of the ownership of the contents, but that a conservator does not have that authority absent a court order. 6. The Public Guardian has a compelling need to access the safe deposit boxes of conservatees as expeditiously as possible. In many cases, there is ongoing financial abuse of the conservatee and an exigent need exists to take control of wills and other important documents, and sometimes cash, before the abuser can abscond with them. Ifthe Public Guardian is not permitted to stand in the shoes of a conservatee and exercise the same authority over a joint tenancy safe deposit box as the conservatee or any other joint tenant, there is nothing to prevent a wrongdoer from wrongfully removing and stealing the conservatee’s property and documents from the boxes. The Public Guardian has no desire to expropriate the property of individuals who have legitimately a safe deposit box with a conservatee. Rather, the Public Guardian requests only to have enforced the same authority over conservatees’ safe deposit boxes as any joint tenant, including the conservatee, would have. 7. In order to protect the due process rights of joint tenants, the standing order could include a requirement that the Public Guardian make a reasonable attempt to notify the joint tenant(s) that the Public Guardian has taken control of the safe deposit box, and that the joint tenant(s) has/have thirty (30) days to provide written evidence of any claimed ownership interest in any of the contents in said box. 8. This application supersedes the application made May 30, 1997. WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays for a standing order of this Court authorizing the Public Guardian to exercise control over the joint tenancy safe deposit boxes of conservatees, whether the conservatorship is permanent or temporary, to the same degree as could a joint tenant, and requiring all banks and other financial institutions situated in California allow the Public Guardian full access to, and control over, safe deposit boxes of which a conservatee of the Public Guardian is a joint tenant and for

Armsby, Deputy County Counsel, as attorney for the Office of the San Mateo County Public Guardian and, for good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

  1. The San Mateo County Public Guardian (the “Public Guardian”) as conservator of the estate of conservatees possessing joint tenancy safe deposit boxes in banks and other financial institutions, is hereby authorized to access said joint tenancy boxes and to exercise control over the contents of those boxes to the same degree as could a joint tenant;
  2. All banks and other financial institutions in the State of California offering safe deposit boxes for rent, and the officers and employees of such institutions, are required to comply with a valid demand by the Public Guardian or its duly deputized representative, as conservator of the estate of a conservatee retaining a safe deposit box at such institution to access said box, whether or not held in joint tenancy;
  3.

Upon demand by the Public Guardian, the bank or other financial institution shall immediately attempt to notify any and all joint tenants of this Order and of the Public Guardian’s demand for access. An officer of the institution and a duly deputized representative of the Public Guardian shall agree on a time during normal banking hours not less than ten (10) days nor more than fifteen (15) days following a demand by the Public Guardian for opening the box and conducting an inventory of the contents. Any joint tenant may be present at the time the box is opened and the contents inventoried. Any contents that are not clearly the property of a joint tenant other than the conservatee shall be released to the duly deputized representative of the Public Guardian, as conservator of the estate of the conservatee. A copy of an inventory conducted pursuant to this Order shall be provided on the same day to the Public Guardian; 5. Following receipt of a valid demand by the Public Guardian accompanied by a certified copy of this Order, neither the institution nor its officers nor the employees of any such institution may allow access to the safe deposit box in question to any joint tenant unless a duly deputized representative of the Public Guardian is present when the box is opened. If the box is opened at the request of a joint tenant other than the conservatee, such joint tenant may remove only such property as the joint tenant can unequivocally demonstrate is his or her property; 6. The Public Guardian or its duly deputized representative is authorized to remove any and all contents from any safe deposit box and finally to close said box, unless the box is found to contain property that is clearly the property of a joint tenant other than a conservatee for whom the Public Guardian is conservator; 7. The Public Guardian is instructed not to remove, and the institutions referenced above are instructed not to permit the removal from a safe deposit box of any property than can positively be identified as belonging to a joint tenant other than a conservatee for whom the Public Guardian is conservator. The Public Guardian is instructed not to dispose of any property of which it takes control pursuant to this Order and whose origin or ownership is uncertain until the fact of ownership is established in a noticed hearing held in this Court or in the context of a separate civil action. 8. This Order supersedes Standing Order 97-17. 9. This Order shall be a Standing Order of the Court and shall remain in full force and effect until
