Is it worth the drive from West Palm Beach?

For a document you handle monthly, no — and we will say that. For the executed originals you handle once a decade and cannot replace, the drive is irrelevant because you are not making it often. Match the storage to the access pattern, not to the map.

Can documents be collected from our office rather than delivered?

Yes. Scheduled collection by unmarked vehicle covers this division, with the handover documented at pickup and again at deposit. For most firms up here that is the only version of the arrangement that actually gets used.

How far is the facility from the U.S. District Court, West Palm Beach?

About 50 minutes from the U.S. District Court, West Palm Beach 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 the U.S. District Court, West Palm Beach use custody storage

A smaller division, longer matters

The West Palm Beach division handles a narrower docket than Miami, and matters here often run for years with the same counsel. That longevity is precisely what makes personal custody arrangements fail — the safe in the office outlives the person who set the combination. A third-party record with named authorized parties is built for that timescale.

Corporate records for closely held companies

Palm Beach County has a dense population of closely held companies and family holding entities. The documents that determine control of those businesses — the operating agreement, buy-sell provisions, the minute book, the certificates — usually live in one person's office. When that person dies, control is contested at the worst possible moment. Off-site custody is a continuity measure first.

The document you cannot re-execute

Federal commercial practice turns on originals more often than clients expect. A recorded instrument can be retrieved from the county. An executed agreement whose counterparty has since dissolved, or whose signatory has died, cannot be re-executed on any terms. That small set is what belongs in custody, and it is usually smaller than people assume.

Access

Getting to the vault from the U.S. District Court, West Palm Beach

The West Palm Beach federal courthouse is the northern end of the Southern District, and the drive south to the vault is the longest of the three federal locations after Miami. Counsel here generally treat custody as a deposit-once arrangement rather than a working file. That is the right instinct. The value of the arrangement in this division is that the document is somewhere documented and retrievable, not that it is close.

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.
