17:9A-291. Inventory and storage of property not removed
A. If property shall not be removed as provided in section 290, the commissioner shall cause such property to be inventoried, and, to that end, shall cause each space, safe, vault, or safe deposit box, and each package in the custody or possession of the bank as custodian or as bailee or depositary for hire or otherwise, to be opened and the contents, if any, to be removed. Such inventory, or opening, removal and inventory, shall be made in the presence of the commissioner or of a person designated by him, and of a notary public, not an officer or employee of the bank. The property or contents shall thereupon be sealed by the notary public in a package marked by him with the name of the person in whose name such property or such space, safe, vault, safe deposit box, or package stands upon the books of the bank. A copy of the inventory of the property therein shall be certified and attached to the package by the notary public.
B. Each package shall be kept by the commissioner at such place as he may determine, at the expense and risk of the person in whose name it stands, until delivered to such person or until sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of pursuant to sections 293, 294 and 295. The package may, pending final disposition of its contents, be opened from time to time by the commissioner or by a person designated by him, in the presence of a notary public, not an officer or employee of the bank, for inspection or appraisal, or to enable the commissioner to exercise any of the powers conferred or duties imposed upon him by this article. Whenever a package is opened, the commissioner or the person designated by him and a notary public, not an officer or employee of the bank, shall endorse on the outside of the package the date of opening and resealing, and shall make an affidavit which shall be attached to the package, stating the reason for the opening and the items, if any, removed therefrom, or placed or replaced therein.
