What is a requirement for a Notary to certify the contents of a safe deposit box?

Be familiar with the signer
Be present at the opening of the box
Know the estimated value of the contents
Prepare a legal inventory document

The correct answer is: Be present at the opening of the box

A notary must be present at the opening of the safe deposit box to certify its contents. This requirement ensures that the notary can directly witness what is contained within the box at the time of certification, providing credible verification of the contents. The notary's presence helps to prevent any disputes or questions about the legitimacy of the certification, as they are the impartial witness to the process. This direct involvement is essential for maintaining the integrity and reliability of the notarization. Being familiar with the signer, knowing the estimated value of the contents, or preparing a legal inventory document may be important in different contexts but are not explicit requirements to certify the contents. Being present at the opening is a critical aspect that guarantees the notary's authority and compliance with legal standards when certifying.
