A safe deposit box can be opened by anyone who is on the 'authorized access' list prepared by the boxholder at the time they rented the box - if they have the key. Other than that, no one else can have lawful access without first being granted access by the court (i.e.: such as an executor).
Yes. If a joint account held by multiple parties is to be closed, the bank would require the signature of both or all parties involved. In this case, since one of the account holders is deceased, their death certificate is required for the bank to know that they are dead and you are now the only holder of the account and you can close it without any issues after you show them the document.
Yes, as both account holders both own all of the assets deposited within the account, and regardless of who deposited what.
Yes, both parents can be listed as account holders on a 529 account.
There is no reason why anyone without hands can't open any bank account they wish. Talk to your preferred bank.
The bank account cannot be operated by anyone else. The bank would expect the legal heirs of both the parties who held the joint account to visit the bank and come to a consensus reg. the funds in the account. Once the bank verifies all documents (Reg. your legality as the heir and the deceased individuals death certificates) they will release the funds to you.
Technically speaking, the wife cannot open a bank account in your name without your signature. Either she needs your signature or she needs a power of attorney from you which gives her the legal right to act on her behalf. If she opened the account after a legal power of attorney, you cannot do anything. If she opened an account without that, then you can try to talk to your wife and try to settle things amicably. Else, you can register a formal complaint with both the bank and the police about forgery.
A beneficiary is the person to whom the proceeds of a bank account will be paid in case of the demise of the account holder. In case of a joint account holder, there will be legal heirs or immediate family members of both account holders. So in the case where either or both of the joint account holders are dead, the bank will be in a fix as to whose family needs to be paid the money that is held in the account. In such a situation the presence of a nominee or beneficiary will be useful to decide who gets the money.
It is my understanding that if both parents are deceased, next in line would be a sister, brother....hope this helps.

Your question is not very clear, but no.
The services provided to customers in local branches of a bank. This contrasts with both the services which a bank provides to account holders over the phone or internet, and the services which are provided from a headquarters or other office not generally open to the public. Branch services are generally ones which involve cash and consultations.
They are both deceased.
