Correct Answer
A. File with the lessor a certificate under seal stating the opening date, the lessee’s name, and a list of the contents
AI Explanation
Safe-deposit-box procedure is a distinct statutory duty. Banking Law §335 requires the notary to file with the lessor a certificate under seal stating the date of opening, the name of the lessee, and a list of contents. For contrast, the mailing of a copy to the lessee within 10 days is a further step after the certificate is made.
