Our Core Investigation Services
Comprehensive research solutions tailored to your specific needs — all delivered with professional expertise and flat-fee pricing
📈 Nationwide Asset Search & Investigation
Our flagship asset search service provides comprehensive investigation of an individual's or business entity's holdings across all 50 states. We utilize multiple proprietary databases, public records, courthouse systems, and specialized search techniques to build complete financial profiles that support litigation, collection efforts, due diligence, and fraud investigations.
Every search is conducted in full compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) privacy requirements.
What's Included in Your Asset Search:
- Real estate properties — residential, commercial, vacant land, rental in all 50 states
- Vehicle registrations — cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs through DMV databases
- Watercraft — boats, yachts, jet skis, Coast Guard documented vessels

📋 UCC Lien Search Services
Our UCC lien search service examines Uniform Commercial Code Article 9 financing statements filed against a debtor's personal property or business assets. When businesses obtain loans secured by collateral such as equipment, inventory, or accounts receivable, lenders file UCC-1 financing statements with the Secretary of State to perfect their security interest and establish priority.
Understanding existing UCC filings is essential for lenders conducting pre-loan due diligence, attorneys supporting commercial transactions, buyers acquiring businesses through M&A deals, and investigators locating assets for judgment collection.
UCC Search Reveals:
- Active UCC-1 financing statements — filed against debtor name
- Secured party information — creditor names and addresses
- Collateral descriptions — equipment, inventory, receivables, blanket liens
- Filing dates & priority positions — first-in-time, first-in-right
- Amendments & continuations — UCC-3 filings, lapse dates

- State tax liens — employment, sales, income tax
- Judgment liens — affecting personal property
🔍 Skip Trace & Individual Locator Services
Our skip trace service helps attorneys, process servers, collection agencies, and investigators locate individuals for service of process, judgment enforcement, heir searches, and legal proceedings. We search public and private databases using advanced search techniques to find current addresses, contact information, and identity verification data.
When debtors move without providing forwarding addresses, defendants evade service, or beneficiaries need to be located for estate matters, our skip trace investigations provide the intelligence needed to complete legal actions. All searches comply with the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) and state-specific privacy laws.
Skip Trace Report Includes:
- Legal names & aliases — variations, maiden names, AKAs
- Identity verification — SSN validation, DOB confirmation

- Employment information — current and historical
- Business associations — corporate officer positions, agent roles
- Driver's license information — state-dependent availability
⚖️ Judgment Collection & Debt Recovery Support
Winning a court judgment is only half the battle — collecting on that judgment requires knowing what assets the debtor owns and where they're located. Our judgment collection support services provide comprehensive asset discovery to identify attachable property, executable assets, garnishment opportunities, and evidence of fraudulent transfers.
We help judgment creditors navigate the complexities of post-judgment collection, including understanding state exemption laws, identifying non-exempt assets, and locating hidden property. See our step-by-step enforcement guide.
Judgment Collection Support Includes:
- Comprehensive debtor asset investigation — nationwide scope
- Real property & equity analysis — ownership, mortgages, liens
- Vehicle & personal property identification — registrations, titles

Professional Asset Search vs. DIY Database Searches
Understanding why professional investigation delivers superior results
| Feature | U.S. Asset Records | DIY/Consumer |
|---|---|---|
| Nationwide Coverage | ✓ All 50 States | ✗ Limited States |
| Real-Time Data | ✓ Current Records | ✗ Often Outdated |
| Manual Verification | ✓ Expert Review | ✗ Automated Only |
| Professional Reports | ✓ Formatted | ✗ Not Suitable |
| Hidden Asset Discovery | ✓ Advanced | ✗ Surface Only |
| Corporate Veil Piercing | ✓ Entity Analysis | ✗ Not Available |
| Expert Consultation | ✓ Free | ✗ Not Offered |
| Legal Compliance | ✓ FCRA/GLBA | ✗ Varies |
Why Professional Services Win
Consumer-grade database services and DIY asset searches may seem cost-effective, but they consistently underperform compared to professional asset investigation. See our free asset search guide to understand exactly what each method can and cannot do.
Access to Premium Databases
Professional investigators access proprietary databases, courthouse systems, and real-time data feeds that aren't available to consumers. These premium sources contain more current and comprehensive information than consumer background check services.
Expert Analysis & Interpretation
Raw data means nothing without interpretation. Our experienced analysts analyze results, identify patterns, verify accuracy, and present findings in actionable formats that support legal proceedings. See what an asset search shows.
Hidden Asset Discovery
DIY services only search where you tell them to look. Professional investigators know where assets are commonly hidden and employ systematic techniques to find hidden assets that automated searches miss entirely.

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.
Can you find hidden 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. See how we find hidden assets in divorce. Bank account balances require proper legal process.
How much does an asset search cost?
Flat-fee pricing: $75 Skip Trace, $125 Public Asset Report, or $250 Certified Creditor Report. All reports cover all 50 states with 24-48 hour 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, bank account indicators, and liens. Asset searches are designed for judgment collection, litigation support, and due diligence.
Can you find bank accounts in an asset search?
Direct bank account balances are protected under federal privacy laws and cannot be obtained without proper legal process. However, our searches can identify bank account indicators through UCC filings, court records, and other public sources that may reveal banking relationships. Once a judgment is obtained, attorneys can use legal discovery tools to obtain specific account information.
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 can be supported by expert testimony when required. 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 hidden 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.
