All that is in the safe is presumed to belong to the deceased, unless of course, there was something in there that was clearly identified as belonging to someone else. Thus, if you are entitled to the house and contents, you'd be entitled to the contents of the safe, absent any clear cut ownership indicators that the property belonged to someone else.
