Guam § 106137 - Adverse Claims to Contents of Safe Deposit Box.

§ 106137. Adverse Claims to Contents of Safe Deposit Box.

(a) An adverse claim to the contents of a safe deposit box, or to property held in safekeeping, is not

sufficient to require the lessor to deny access to its lessee unless:

(1) The lessor is directed to do so by a court order issued in an action in which the lessee is served

with process and named as a party by a name which identifies him with the name in which the safe

deposit box is leased or the property held; or

(2) The safe deposit box is leased or the property is held in the name of a lessee with the addition

of words indicating that the contents or property is held in a fiduciary capacity, and the adverse claim

is supported by a written statement of facts disclosing that it is made by or on behalf of a beneficiary

and that there is reason to know that the fiduciary will misappropriate the trust property.

(b) A claim is also an adverse claim where one of several lessees claims, contrary to the terms of the

lease, an exclusive right of access or where one or more persons claim a right of access as agents or officer

of a lessee to the exclusion of others as agents or officers, or where it is claimed that a lessee is the same

person as one using another name.
