A. In the event a credit union is liquidated or placed under conservatorship by the director, as authorized by Subsection I of Section 58-11-3 NMSA 1978 of the Credit Union Regulatory Act [Credit Union Act], the conservator or receiver shall send a notice by certified or registered mail to the last known address of the lessee stating that the safe deposit box will be opened and its contents stored at the expense of the lessee unless claimed within thirty days. If the contents are not claimed within thirty days from the mailing of the notice, the safe deposit box may be opened in the presence of an agent of the conservator or receiver and of a notary public. The contents shall be sealed in a package by the notary public who shall write on the outside the name of the lessee and the date of the opening. The notary public shall execute a certificate reciting the name of the lessee, the date of the opening of the safe deposit box and a list of its contents. The certificate shall be included in the package, and a copy of the certificate shall be sent by registered mail to the last known address of the lessee. The conservator or receiver shall then provide for storage of the package at a rental not exceeding the rental previously charged for the safe deposit box.
B. If the package is not claimed, it will be disposed of as provided in the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act [Uniform Unclaimed Property Act (1995), 7-8A-30 NMSA 1978].
