Greetings from Colorado (safe is in Washington state).
This is a bit of a sad story. My brother recently passed away suddenly. He was an off the grid / hermit kind of guy, lived alone with no wife or offspring which leads me to our predicament. My brother went in to his trailer to look for a will and any valuables to secure. He found this old safe (see pics). I believe it’s a Diabold but unsure of age etc. We’re hoping to access it in order to find any signs of a will. Local locksmith says we need a court order to have them work on opening. There was no slip of paper left and we’ve tried various combinations we thought might be relevant to him. No luck. We’re trying to minimize cost and legal council as he had no real valuables or even bank accounts so everything is out of pocket for my family at this point.
1-would a death certificate be appropriate to provide a locksmith to get them to accept the work?
2-does anyone know the default combination we could try?
3-any other advice you could offer in our situation?
Thanks for looking!!
