Our client's heirs are overseas. Can they be authorized?

They can, with properly executed documentation — normally a power of attorney that we can accept on its face. Arrange it while the client has capacity. Doing it afterwards means a court process in two jurisdictions, which is exactly the outcome the arrangement is meant to avoid.

Do you offer anonymous or numbered accounts?

No. We know the question gets asked, and the answer is a flat no. Every account is in a named party's name, identity is verified at intake, and we comply with valid legal process. Anyone offering a client the opposite in this market is offering them a future problem.

How far is the facility from Coral Gables?

About 40 minutes from Coral Gables in normal traffic. We are at 3562 N Ocean Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, on the Galt Ocean Mile.

Can you collect from my office instead of the client’s home?

Yes. Low-profile armored collection is available throughout South Florida in unmarked vehicles. Many intakes run through counsel rather than through the client.

How quickly can custody be arranged?

Same week in most cases, and same day where a date is imminent. The limiting factor is usually the inventory, not the vault.

What do you tell a court if asked?

We comply with valid subpoenas and court orders. We tell counsel that before intake, not after. Nothing here is designed to conceal property from lawful process.

The case

Why counsel near Coral Gables use custody storage

Family practices and personal property

Alhambra Circle and the streets around it hold a dense concentration of estate, family and immigration practices acting for individuals. The custody question that arises there is not about closing binders — it is about a client's jewelry, documents and family items, and about who will be able to reach them when the client cannot. That is a different conversation to a corporate one, and it needs a different intake.

Latin American clients and the two-jurisdiction problem

A great deal of Gables practice involves clients with assets and family in two countries. Property held informally in a Florida home, by someone who is here part of the year, with heirs who are not here at all, is the setup that produces the worst outcomes we see. A written inventory and a named authorized party address most of it and cost very little.

The inventory matters more than the vault

For this client profile the single most valuable part of the arrangement is the signed inventory at intake. It converts an invisible holding into a listed one. Families who know what exists argue far less than families reconstructing a parent's affairs from memory, and that is true regardless of where the property is kept.

Access

Getting to the vault from Coral Gables

Coral Gables to the vault runs north through Miami-Dade and up into Broward, and like the rest of the Miami-Dade corridor it is a planned trip rather than a casual one. Scheduled collection is the normal arrangement. What is slightly different here is the client profile — Gables practices often act for individuals and families rather than institutions, so the property being deposited is more likely to be personal than corporate.

What clients place in custody

Case & Legal Documents

Executed originals and full case files kept whole for years, with counsel named as an authorized agent at intake.

Family Heirlooms

One custodian, one signed inventory, one location — so nothing scatters among relatives while a household is running without its center.

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.

Digital Media & Drives

Drives and tape held offline in controlled climate, so nothing degrades in a closet and no subscription lapses unnoticed.

Personal Effects & Photographs

Letters, photographs and service records — the property nobody assigns a value to and every family regrets losing.
