For defense counsel
The property conversation nobody has until it is too late.
Your client is thinking about the sentence. Somebody has to think about the house, the ring, the minute book, and the box of photographs. That conversation is worth twenty minutes and it is almost never had.
Consultations with counsel are complimentary. We can meet at the facility or at your office.

Scope
What we handle, and what we do not
We do
- Take custody of lawfully held property for a defined, prepaid term.
- Produce a signed written inventory at intake.
- Structure access so a named custodian can act during the absence.
- Collect from your office rather than the client’s address.
- Document every mid-term release against the inventory.
- Tell you plainly how we respond to legal process.
We do not
- Conceal property from a court, a creditor, or a forfeiture or restitution proceeding.
- Offer storage on terms we would not disclose to a judge.
- Value or appraise property.
- Accept firearms or controlled substances.
- Pay referral fees.
- Give legal advice — that is your job and we will not tread on it.

Family Heirlooms

Jewelry & Watches
Portable, easy to liquidate, and hard to prove was ever there, which is the exact problem a signed intake inventory solves.

Business & Corporate Records
The box is rented by the entity, so minute books and share ledgers stay reachable when the officers change.

Deeds, Titles & Identity Documents
A named agent can pull one title mid-term without disturbing the rest, and every release is documented as it happens.

Precious Metals
Weighed and recorded by form at intake, then verifiable in a private viewing room by whoever the client named.

What counsel ask us
- Is there a referral fee?
- No. We do not pay for referrals and we do not want the complication it would create for you.
- Will you talk to the family directly?
- Yes, if the client asks us to. Many intakes are arranged with a spouse or adult child once the client has decided.
- What do you tell a court?
- The truth. We comply with valid subpoenas and court orders, and we publish that position so you can advise accordingly.
- How late can this be arranged?
- Same day where necessary. It is far better done weeks out, because the inventory and the custodian designations deserve thought.
- Do you handle firearms?
- No. Firearms custody carries its own licensing regime and we do not accept them.
- Can I tour before I refer anyone?
- We would prefer it. Bring a matter and we will walk it through.
Bring a matter. We will walk it through.
Tours are private and by appointment. You will see the vault door, the man-trap entry, and the box sizes in person. No account relationship is required to visit.
