Bank accounts are debts owed from the bank to the debtor, the bank owes a debt to the depositor and they offset the debt she owes them. The contents of the box are not a debt owed to the box owner. In addition to the suggestion to look at the agreement, the bank is probably a bailee for the contents of the box. Look at finance code 1620 et seq. which lays out the banks rights for non-payment of rent. It indicates the bank has the same rights as a warehouseman, which allows sale of items to pay rent. Unless the bank has an enforceable right under the contract for the box, you may want to consider an action for conversion against the bank or at least threaten it.

The box has some jewelry worth about $10,000 which I can easily exempt. I know that banks have a set off against all assets located at the bank. If I were to file Chapter 7, can I avoid this set off or is this like a statutory lien which is unavoidable?
