Compare All Four Reports and Their Published Prices
Four products, four published prices, no quote requests and no hourly billing. The distinction that matters most is the starting point: three of these begin with a person, and the fourth begins with a property, or with a person or business when you need the equity behind everything they own.
| Report | Price | Begins with | Order it when | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skip Trace | $95 | A name | You need to locate the subject before anything else can proceed | Order Skip Trace |
| Asset Profile Report | $195 | A person or entity | You need everything the subject owns, nationwide, for divorce, probate, pre-litigation, or due diligence | Order Asset Profile |
| FCRA Creditor-Status Profile | $295 | A person or entity | You are collecting a judgment or debt and need a permissible-purpose report | Order Creditor-Status |
| Title Search & Asset Equity Analysis Newest, most in-depth report | $595 | A property, or a person or business | You need chain, liens, vesting and valuation on a property, or the equity behind everything a person or business owns | Order Title & Equity |
Every report covers all 50 states and every U.S. recording jurisdiction, arrives in 1 to 5 days, and carries a documented source behind every finding.
Flat fee. Ordering takes 2 to 3 minutes online. No call needed to order, and the subject is never contacted.
Title Search & Asset Equity Analysis, $595 Flat
A property owner investigation answers a different question than an asset search does. An asset search asks what a person owns everywhere. This asks everything about one parcel: who holds title and how, what is recorded against the property, what is recorded against the owner, what the land is worth, and what the full history of transfers reveals about how it got there. The Title Search & Asset Equity Analysis delivers all of it for $595 flat in 1 to 5 days, depending on the county and complexity, with the recorded instrument number for every finding. No quote request or call needed to order, and no hourly meter.
Start from a property, or from a person or business. The Individual/Entity Asset Equity Analysis starts from the person or business and covers every property, vehicle, vessel, aircraft and business interest found nationwide, with recorded liens and the equity available in each property.
What the $595 property investigation includes
| Deliverable | What you receive |
|---|---|
| Full Chain of Title | Every recorded transfer as far back as the county's records go, grantor to grantee, with instrument numbers and dates |
| Complete Owner Profile | The individual or entity on title, associated names, and the other parcels that same owner holds |
| Liens Against the Property | Mortgages, deeds of trust, mechanics liens, HOA assessments, tax liens, active and released, in priority order |
| Liens Against the Owner | Judgment liens, state and federal tax liens, and UCC filings that attach to the owner rather than the parcel |
| Current Vesting Deed | The operative deed and supporting document images, retrieved even when the county has not digitized them, showing exactly how title is held |
| Vesting Analysis | Whether title runs individually, jointly, in entireties, in trust, or through an entity, the distinction that decides what a creditor reaches |
| Comparables and Valuation | Recent arm’s-length sales in the immediate area, with the data behind the number |
| Tax Assessment History | Assessed values, exemptions claimed, and delinquency status from the county assessor |
| Parcel and Flood Maps | Legal description, parcel boundaries, acreage, and FEMA flood designation |
| Transfer Timing | Recording dates on every conveyance, the evidence fraudulent-transfer analysis runs on |
| Encumbrance Priority | The stack in recording order, so counsel sees what stands ahead of a new lien |
| Analyst Title Narrative | A written analysis tying every finding together, not a database dump |
| Building Permits | Permit history with dates, values and certificate of occupancy |
| Recorded Easements | Easements from the plat and deeds, mapped to the lot lines |
| State-Specific Analysis | The state's statutes applied to the findings, including trust, tax and CC&R issues |
| Owner Investigation | The owner's other real property, vehicles, business affiliations and recorded exposure |
| Complimentary Annual Update | One updated report per year, on request |
| Questions Answered | Answers to any questions about the report at no additional charge |
When counsel orders the property package instead of the $195 report
The two products answer different questions, and the wrong choice wastes a fee. Order the $195 Asset Profile Report when the subject is the unknown: you have a name and need every parcel, entity, vehicle, vessel, and recorded judgment tied to it nationwide. Order the $595 Title Search & Asset Equity Analysis when the parcel is the unknown: you already know which property matters and need it taken to the bottom.
| Asset Profile, $195 | Title Search & Asset Equity Analysis, $595 | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | A person or entity name | One specific property |
| Breadth | All 50 states, every U.S. recording jurisdiction | One parcel, taken to full depth |
| Chain of title | Current ownership and recorded liens | Full chain with every instrument, as far back as the county's records go |
| Valuation | Not included | Comparables, assessments, and analysis |
| Typical use | Judgment enforcement, divorce, pre-litigation | Lien position, quiet title, foreclosure, purchase diligence |
| Delivery | 1 to 5 days | 1 to 5 days |

Asset Searches, Asset Investigations & Asset Recovery Services Nationwide
Analyst-conducted asset investigations for attorneys, creditors, collection agencies and individuals in all 50 states, at flat-fee pricing, delivered in 1 to 5 days depending on complexity and county.
What an Asset Investigator Does
Each asset investigation identifies the real property, vehicles, vessels, aircraft, business interests, UCC filings and recorded judgments tied to a person or company. Asset tracing runs through every recording jurisdiction in the country, the 50 Secretary of State registries, UCC indexes, court judgment dockets and PACER, DMV records under DPPA permissible purpose, the FAA registry and Coast Guard vessel documentation. Every finding arrives with the record that supports it, and the subject is never contacted.
Asset Recovery Investigation for Judgment Creditors
Recovery starts with knowing what can be reached. The investigation documents the property that can carry a judgment lien, the business interests behind an LLC or partnership, transfer timelines that support fraudulent transfer claims, and the lenders named on recorded mortgages, vehicle title liens and UCC filings, which are the strongest first targets for a writ of garnishment or bank levy. A lender relationship is a lead, not a levy: the report carries no account numbers or balances. Creditors collecting a debt order the $295 Creditor-Status Profile. See judgment collection asset search.
Company Asset Search and Business Entity Investigation
A company asset search covers the real property, vehicles, UCC filings, judgments and federal court matters tied to a business entity, along with the LLCs, corporations and partnerships it controls and the officer and registered-agent roles on file in all 50 states. Counsel use it to test collectibility before filing suit, to enforce a judgment against a business debtor, and to verify a target company's assets before a transaction closes. See asset search for attorneys.
Unclaimed Asset Search for Estates and Heirs
This search looks for escheated funds, forgotten property and estate holdings across state treasury databases and private sources. Estate administrators, heirs and probate counsel use it to complete the inventory of what a person held at death. For probate, divorce and pre-litigation matters, the $195 Asset Profile Report is the standard order. See probate estate asset search.
Which report fits: the $95 Skip Trace locates a person, the $195 Asset Profile Report covers divorce, probate and pre-litigation review, the $295 Creditor-Status Profile serves creditors collecting a debt, and the $595 Title Search & Asset Equity Analysis starts from a property you already know.

Who Orders Asset Searches from U.S. Asset Records
- Family law and divorce attorneys nationwide: Equitable distribution, community property division, alimony calculation, and child support enforcement all require complete asset identification. Undisclosed asset discovery in high-net-worth divorces is one of the largest use cases.
- Collection law firms and recovery agencies: Post-judgment enforcement under state-specific judgment lien statutes. Asset profile drives lien recording strategy, garnishment targeting, and writ of execution levy decisions. FCRA Creditor-Status Profile is standard for this use case.
- Commercial litigation counsel: Pre-litigation collectibility evaluation determines whether a complex commercial case is worth filing. Defendant asset picture also drives settlement strategy in disputes involving substantial damages claims.
- Probate and estate administration attorneys: Decedent asset identification under state probate codes. Cross-jurisdictional holdings often trigger ancillary administration in multiple states. Trust and family LLC analysis is standard.
- Personal injury and plaintiff's counsel: Defendant collectibility before contingency case acceptance. Personal injury attorneys cannot afford to take cases where the defendant has no reachable assets and insufficient insurance coverage.
- Business due diligence and M&A counsel: Target company asset verification before transaction close. Officer and director asset profiles for closing-condition compliance. UCC filing analysis to confirm collateral position.
- Fraud examiners and forensic accountants: Asset tracing in embezzlement, breach of fiduciary duty, securities fraud, and Ponzi-scheme recovery matters. Timeline analysis supports fraudulent transfer claims under UVTA frameworks.
- Trustees and receivers: Court-appointed fiduciaries identifying estate assets, fraudulent transfer recovery, and creditor distribution analysis. Bankruptcy trustees under federal Sections 544 and 548.
- Asset protection investigators and creditor counsel: Identifying assets held through asset protection trusts, LLC structures with charging-order primacy, and out-of-state entity arrangements. Cross-jurisdictional pattern analysis.
- Out-of-state and international counsel: Sister-state judgment domestication under UEFJA frameworks. Pre-domestication asset picture supports filing-strategy decisions in cross-jurisdictional enforcement.
Our analysts walk you through findings, answer questions about specific assets, and discuss strategic next steps at no additional charge. Flat-fee pricing means the quoted price is the final price.
Asset Categories We Investigate
Every category below is drawn from public records and licensed databases, and every finding arrives with the citation that supports it.
| Category | Sources and scope |
|---|---|
| Real property | Deeds, parcels, and ownership interests across every U.S. recording jurisdiction, with vesting read on each |
| Recorded liens and judgments | Mortgages, tax liens, mechanics liens, UCC filings, and judgment liens, active and released |
| Business entities | LLCs, corporations, partnerships, officer and registered-agent roles, and assumed business names in all 50 states |
| Vehicles | Motor vehicle records under DPPA permissible purpose |
| Vessels | State registration plus U.S. Coast Guard documentation, which also records preferred ship mortgages |
| Aircraft | FAA Civil Aviation Registry ownership, often held one entity removed from the subject |
| Court records | Federal filings through PACER, plus state and county judgment dockets and bankruptcy |
| Entity-held and trust-held property | Parcels vested in LLCs, partnerships, and trusts connected back to the individual through filings |
What we do not sell, and why
Bank balances, brokerage holdings, and account numbers are protected by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Competing services advertise them anyway, sometimes conditioned on an existing judgment. We do not sell that information at any price, and we publish no accuracy percentages or success-rate statistics, because no honest records methodology produces them. We also do not offer employment verification. What we deliver instead is the complete recorded asset picture, sourced line by line, which is what enforcement, garnishment, and turnover proceedings are actually aimed with.

How Our Asset Investigation Process Works
Five steps, no phone calls, and a fixed delivery window. The process is deliberately the same for a single-property investigation and a nationwide asset search, because consistency is what makes a flat fee honest.
- Place the order online. Choose the report, enter the subject name and any known details, and pay the published flat fee. No consultation call and no quote request stands between you and the order.
- An analyst builds the subject profile. Names, aliases, spouse, known addresses, and entity indicators are assembled into the search profile that drives every subsequent query.
- County, state, and federal records are swept. Recorders and clerks across every U.S. recording jurisdiction, all 50 Secretaries of State, UCC indexes, court judgment dockets, PACER, DMV under DPPA permissible purpose, the FAA registry, and Coast Guard vessel documentation.
- Findings are verified and documented. Every asset is tied back to its instrument number, entity ID, certificate, or registry citation. Unverified leads are excluded rather than padded into the report.
- The report is delivered in 1 to 5 days. A documented, analyst-written report arrives by secure delivery, organized so counsel can act on it: what is owned, how it is held, what is encumbered, and what is reachable.
The subject is never contacted at any stage. No inquiry, notice, letter, or call reaches them, and nothing about the search appears on any credit file for non-creditor reports.
Frequently Asked Questions

What is an asset check?
An asset check, also called an asset search, is a records investigation that identifies what a person or business owns: real property, vehicles, vessels, aircraft, business interests, UCC filings and judgments. U.S. Asset Records runs one nationwide for $195 flat, or $295 for a creditor with a permissible purpose, delivered in 1 to 5 days.
What is an asset investigation?
An asset investigation is an analyst-led inquiry that identifies, verifies and documents what a person or business owns, with the record behind each finding. At U.S. Asset Records an analyst searches public records and licensed databases across every U.S. recording jurisdiction and writes the report, delivered in 1 to 5 days at a published flat fee.
What is an asset search on a person?
An asset search on a person is a review of public records and licensed databases that identifies the real estate, vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, business interests, liens and judgments held in the name of that person. The $195 Asset Profile Report is available to anyone for any purpose. Bank balances and account numbers are protected by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and are not sold.
What is included in a comprehensive asset search?
A comprehensive asset search includes real estate properties in all 50 states, vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, business ownership interests, UCC filings, liens, judgments, and court records. Our reports provide detailed information including property values, ownership percentages, lien amounts, mortgage details, and registration information. See what an asset search shows.
How long does an asset investigation take?
Asset investigations are completed in 1 to 5 days, depending on complexity and county. Order now to get started.
Are asset searches legal?
Yes, asset searches are completely legal when conducted properly using public records and authorized databases. U.S. Asset Records complies with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and state privacy laws. All searches are conducted for legitimate, permissible purposes only.
Who uses asset investigation services?
Our services are used by law firms, judgment creditors, debt buyers, collection agencies, private investigators, businesses conducting due diligence, individuals in divorce proceedings, estate administrators, bankruptcy trustees, and financial institutions. Learn what sets us apart.
What is a UCC lien search?
A UCC lien search examines public records for Uniform Commercial Code financing statements filed against a debtor's personal property or business assets. These searches reveal security interests, creditor priority positions, and encumbrances on equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable.
How accurate are your asset search reports?
U.S. Asset Records maintains high accuracy by utilizing multiple data sources, cross-referencing information, and manually verifying critical findings. We access real-time databases, courthouse records, and proprietary sources. Read our about page to learn about our methodology.
Do you search all 50 states?
Yes, U.S. Asset Records provides asset search coverage across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. Our investigators access state-specific databases, county records, and federal registries nationwide. See our nationwide coverage page.
Is there a nationwide asset search database?
No single public database lists everything a person owns. Ownership is recorded office by office: county recorders, the 50 Secretary of State registries, UCC filing offices, motor vehicle agencies, the Coast Guard and the FAA. Asset locator services such as U.S. Asset Records search those records together, for $195 flat in 1 to 5 days.
Can you find undisclosed assets?
Our investigators use advanced techniques to uncover assets that may not be immediately apparent, including properties held in LLCs or trusts, out-of-state holdings, vehicles registered to businesses, and corporate ownership interests.

How much does an asset search cost?
Flat-fee pricing: $95 Skip Trace, $195 Asset Profile Report, $295 Creditor-Status Profile, or $595 Title Search & Asset Equity Analysis, the newest and most in-depth report. All reports cover all 50 states with 1 to 5 day delivery. No contracts. See our complete asset search cost guide.
What is the difference between an asset search and a background check?
A background check focuses on criminal history, employment verification, and credit reports. An asset search investigates financial holdings including real estate, vehicles, business interests, lender relationships, and liens. Asset searches are designed for judgment collection, litigation support, and due diligence.
Can you find bank accounts in an asset search?
No. Bank account information is protected by federal privacy law (the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), and no lawful asset search sells account or balance locates at any price. After a judgment is entered, account records become reachable through court process such as post-judgment subpoenas and discovery in aid of execution. Our reports focus on what is lawfully documentable: real property, business interests, titled assets, and recorded liens. See how creditors find bank accounts.
How do I use asset search results for judgment collection?
Asset search reports identify attachable property for judgment enforcement. Once you identify assets, your attorney can pursue real property liens, wage garnishment, bank levies, and execution on personal property. See how to locate debtor assets.
Do you offer asset searches for divorce cases?
Yes, divorce asset searches are one of our most requested services. We help identify marital assets that may have been hidden, undervalued, or transferred. See our guide on signs your spouse is hiding assets and how to find them.
What is skip tracing and how does it relate to asset searches?
Skip tracing locates individuals who have moved or are avoiding contact. Asset searches focus on identifying property and financial holdings. We often combine both services, first locating the individual through skip tracing, then conducting a comprehensive asset investigation.
Are your reports admissible in court?
U.S. Asset Records reports are used in litigation, proceedings supplementary, judgment enforcement, and other legal matters. Our reports are professionally formatted, cite sources, and are written so every finding can be checked against its source. We maintain detailed documentation for all investigation materials.
Can you search for assets owned by a business or corporation?
Yes, our business asset search services investigate corporate holdings including real estate owned by the entity, vehicles titled to the business, equipment (through UCC filings), subsidiary companies, and the personal assets of corporate officers. We also identify existing liens and judgments against business assets.
What states have the most undisclosed assets?
States with strong debtor protection laws attract asset concealment strategies. Florida offers unlimited homestead exemptions. Nevada attracts corporate formations due to privacy provisions and charging order protection. Texas provides strong personal property exemptions. Our nationwide searches cover all 50 states.
What does a public records asset search show?
A public records asset search shows recorded ownership, not account balances: deeds, mortgages and liens at county recorders, entities in all 50 Secretary of State registries, UCC filings, court judgments, vehicles, Coast Guard vessels and FAA aircraft. It names the lenders on recorded mortgages and UCC filings, but bank balances and account numbers stay protected under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
