I recently found a safety deposit key in my deceased parents' belongings for Merchants National bank in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Can anyone tell me if I can still use it to see what my parents had in there? With both my parents gone now, I would really love to have what they felt had enough value to them to get a safety deposit box.
