A lessee on a safe deposit box may appoint a deputy, with or without the consent of or notice to any other joint lessees on the box. A deputy shall have the power to enter the box, remove contents therefrom or add contents, and the appointment of the deputy shall not be affected by the subsequent incapacity or incompetency of the lessee, nor the lapse of time. Revocation of the appointment of a deputy must be made in writing to the lessor. The authority of the deputy shall cease upon the appointing lessee's death. However, if the lessor, without knowledge of the death of the lessee, deals with the deputy of the lessee, the transaction binds the lessee's estate and the lessee.
