ORPHANS I COURT DNISION In Re: Estate of JOHN MARTIN, Deceased. ( ) ( ) ( ) ( No.1487 of 1968 OPINION Marino,P.J.January 4,1969. Petitioner,Opal S.Martin,co -administratrix of the Estate of John Martin,deceased,seeks an order of this court requiring Pittsburgh National Bank to "recognize the claim of the John Martin Estate in certain deposit accounts and in property held in a certain safe deposit box"in said ban . Actually,she seeks a restraining order against the Pittsburgh National Bank,hereinafter referred to as "Bank",requiring the Bank to refus all persons,including Michael Martin,a co-lessee of the box,the right of entry therein;she also seeks unlimited discovery in connection with the leasin of the safe deposit box and in connection with the status and management of joint savings and checking accounts in said Bank and particularly to prohibit the allowance of any withdrawals from any such accounts jointly held by decedent,John Martin,and others. A similar petition is presented with respect to the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Greene County,except that no safe deposit box is kept in that institution,and the petition concerns only joint accounts held there. Michael Martin has interposed Preliminary Objections which we now discuss.He contends that the petitions should be dismissed because:· 1.This court has no jurisdiction over the parties respondent,a petitioner has not complied with the provisions of Section 704 of the Orphans I II Court Act of 1951,20 P.S.Section 2080.704;that jurisdiction over the pers n can be acquired only by the issuance of a Citation and proper service of same upon the individual intended to be affected.Petitioner did not apply for a Citation,none issued or was served;hence,it is argued,any court order would be a nullity. 2.Petitioner,seeking extraordinary injunctive relief,has not complied with the provisions of Section 732 of the said Orphans'Court Act of 1951;there is no allegation that immediate and irreparable injury will be sustained if injunctive relief is not granted,nor have any supporting affidavits been offered to that effect. 3.No bond has been filed;petitioner seeks extraordinary injunctive relief without the filing of a bond. 4.Petitioner is attempting to lay the groundwork for a claim to ownership of personal property on behalf of the Estate,by use of proposed discovery notwithstanding that such proposed discovery is not ancillary to any pending action. Conceding (arguendo)the jurisdiction of the court over the parties is the petitioner entitled to injunctive relief?Let us first consider the matter of the safe deposit box.Petitioner did not append a copy of the leasing contra t, but respondent Michael Martin has furnished us a copy.The box was leased t John and Michael Martin in 1957.The original leasing was in 1944.Paragra No.2 provides:lilt is understood and agreed that access to the box hereby leased and control of the contents thereof may be had by either (or anyone) of the lessees in the absence of the other (or others)and that,upon the death of either (or anyone)of the lessees,the right of access to and control of the contents of the box shall pass to and belong to the survivor (or survivors).II -2- Absent improper conduct or allegations of fraud,are we at libert to make a restrictive order in the circumstances?The quoted portion of the lease specifically and unmistakably confers upon the respondent (co-lessee) the right of access to the box both before and after the other co-lessee1s deat . In Stevenson v.Economy Bank of Ambridge,413 Pa.442,453 (1964)a simil provision was interpreted by the Court.It said,in part,(p.452-3):llCaref consideration of the lease satisfies us that appellant 1§urviving co -lesseEi]ha a contractual right of access to and entry into the box....and that the bank was without legal authority or justification to preclude her from exercising that right.Its refusal to admit appellant to the box was a willful interference with her right of possession of the contents and constituted an act of conversi n.II (emphasis supplied). Surely,this court would not countenance an act of conversion by t e bank,much less order one. As to the request for discovery and llfreezing"the various accounts in both banking institutions,it is undoubtedly true that the proposed discovery is not ancillary to any pending action,as it is required to be.Cole v.Wells,406 Pa.81 (1962). Further,this court would not order the Banks to make disclosure of particular information to the petitioner until it was shown,by proper and adequate proof,that such information,upon proper application by petitioner, had been unreasonably and arbitrarily refused. Both petitions are dismissed.

III.DEMURRER. The Petition fails to aver any material facts which would permit the Pittsburgh National Bank to refuse to admit Michael Martin access to his safe deposit box or interfere with his right of possession of the contents or which would permit the Bank to deny Michael Martin his contractual rights in joint savings aild checking accounts.Stevenson v.Economy Bank of Ambridge,413 Pa.442 (1964).

THE COURT: MR.NENE: Who's doing the appealing? It was said in the appeal that the Commonwealth failed to appeal the original payment. THE COURT: MR.NENE: The $61,000? Yes.It's our contention that he appeal was not necessary because the contents of the box wer~ in addition to the original appriasement and not disturbed i~ any way.The box was in the name of John or Michael Martin and,therefore,since both have access to it for inheritance tax purposes it is presumed that at the most 50%belonged to each of the box holders. MR.FINDER:Just so the recorCfrlls CLear,we ------------------- c. have done research and there is no such presumption. THE COURT:Is that for the Court's benefit?
