Asset Search
An asset search can range from a simple search for real property owned by an entity or individual to a comprehensive search essential in determining the value of pursuing collection on a judgment.
When requesting an asset search, it is important to understand that there are many search options available when tasked with identifying assets and the amount of debt held by an individual or entity.
It is also necessary to ask several questions prior to initiating an asset search, such as how in-depth does the search need to be? Many asset searches can range from a quick peek to see if the subject owns any property to a large-scale due diligence project involving valuation and detailed documentation of assets and holdings.
Does the subject have numerous tax liens and/or civil judgments which would force you to go to “the back of line” when attempting to collect on an existing/pending judgment? This is an important question that can quickly and inexpensively be answered with a tax lien & civil judgment search, which will identify existing judgments related to civil cases and tax lien records filed at the county, state and federal level. In addition, our search can also identify release records which document when a specific judgment or tax lien was satisfied, which can be an indicator of the overall likelihood and timeframe in which the subject may satisfy your judgment.
Do you/your client have the patience and financial resources necessary to hire a competent and skilled financial investigator to meticulously pore over financial records, identify bank accounts nationwide and abroad, and obtain transaction history documentation? Asset searches, especially those employing searches to identify bank and brokerage accounts can be relatively expensive and time consuming. But when compared to the time and expense that goes into successfully litigating a case and the final sum of the judgment awarded, the cost is minimal.

- Real Property Ownership Search
