Quick Answer
A New Hampshire asset search is $195 flat-fee (Asset Profile Report) or $295 for the FCRA-compliant Creditor-Status Profile, delivered in 1 to 5 days. It covers real estate, business interests, vehicles, vessels, aircraft, UCC filings and court records in all 10 counties and nationwide, and the subject is never contacted.
What is a New Hampshire asset search, and how does it fit the state’s collection rules?
A New Hampshire asset search identifies the real estate, business interests, vehicles, UCC filings and court records tied to a person or company, in all 10 counties and nationwide. Lawyers order it before filing, to collect, in divorce and in probate.
New Hampshire has no abstract-of-judgment lien. Real estate is bound by an attachment, which holds for 6 years after judgment, or by filing an attested copy of the execution with the county register of deeds (RSA 511:55, 529:29). The homestead exemption rose to $400,000 per person on January 1, 2026 (RSA 480:1). Knowing what property exists, and whether it is the debtor’s primary residence, comes before attaching anything.

Attachment and Execution
Without an abstract lien, timing and the registry of deeds decide who gets paid. The search shows what there is to bind.
| Mechanism | What the RSA provides | What the search adds |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment (RSA 511:55, I; ch. 511-A) | Real estate attached before judgment stays bound for 6 years after judgment | Parcels worth attaching, in the right county |
| Filed execution (529:29) | Without an attachment, an attested copy of the execution filed with the register of deeds binds the real estate | Where the debtor holds land |
| Execution period (527:6) | Executions issue within 2 years of judgment, or within 6 years against attached property | Whether property is there to levy on in time |
| Levy on real estate (ch. 529) | By setoff or by sale, with notice posted 30 days before a sale (529:20) | Legal descriptions, mortgages and equity |
| Trustee process (ch. 512) | Garnishment of funds held by third parties; weekly wages up to 50 times the federal minimum hourly wage are exempt on a judgment debt (512:21, II) | Employers and other holders of the debtor’s money |
| Periodic payment hearing (524:6-a) | The debtor must appear and be examined on ability to pay | Specific assets to raise at the hearing |
| Suit on the judgment (508:5) | An action of debt on a judgment may be brought within 20 years | Whether assets have appeared since |
| Foreign judgments (ch. 524-A) | Revised Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act | In-state assets that justify filing |
Marital Property
New Hampshire divides all property of either spouse, however titled, and presumes an equal division is equitable (RSA 458:16-a, I-II). Divorce is heard in the Circuit Court Family Division.
Because everything is divisible, the report covers both spouses and every entity either controls, with acquisition dates from the registry.
Homestead and Exemptions
| Item | RSA rule | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Homestead (480:1) | $400,000 per person, capped at $550,000 combined, for a residence used as the primary residence for the prior 12 months; effective January 1, 2026 | A large cushion; second homes and other land are outside it |

| Retirement (511:2, XIX) | Tax-qualified plans exempt, subject to the voidable transactions act | Transfers into a plan to dodge creditors can be challenged |
| LLC interests (304-C:126) | Charging order is the exclusive remedy, except that for a single-member LLC the court may order an execution sale if distributions will not pay the judgment in reasonable time | Single-member LLCs are more exposed than multi-member ones |
| Limited partnership interests (304-B:41) | The court may charge a limited partner’s interest; the creditor gets an assignee’s rights | Partnership property is listed separately |
Voidable Transactions
New Hampshire repealed its Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (RSA 545-A) and adopted the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act, RSA 545-B, effective August 31, 2026.
- Deadlines (545-B:9): 4 years after the transfer, or 1 year after discovery for actual intent if later; 1 year for an insider preference.
- Badges (545-B:4, II): Listed factors include a transfer to an insider (defined in 545-B:1, VIII); insider status is a factor, not a presumption.
- Transferees (545-B:8): Liability of transferees, with defenses for good faith and value.
- Self-settled trusts (564-B:5-505A): The old qualified dispositions statute (RSA 564-D) was repealed in 2017. Under the current trust code an existing creditor must sue by the later of 4 years after the transfer or 1 year after discovery, with exceptions for child support and alimony.
- In bankruptcy: A trustee can avoid transfers made within 2 years before the petition under 11 U.S.C. 548.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a New Hampshire asset search cost?
$195 flat for an Asset Profile Report or $295 for the Creditor-Status Profile, the FCRA-compliant report for collection.
How quickly is it delivered?
In 1 to 5 days, depending on complexity and county.
Do you cover all ten counties?
Yes. Hillsborough and Rockingham hold more than half of the population, and all ten registries of deeds are searched.
Can you find a debtor’s bank accounts?
No. Account numbers and balances are never provided. Under 15 U.S.C. 6821, part of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, obtaining someone’s bank information from a bank by false pretenses is a federal violation, and so is knowingly asking someone to do it. After judgment, creditors reach accounts through court process aimed at banks named in the public record. Real property, business interests, vehicles, and judgments are identified in every Asset Profile Report.
Does a judgment create a lien on land in New Hampshire?
Not by itself; there is no abstract-of-judgment lien. Real estate is bound by an attachment, held 6 years after judgment (RSA 511:55), or by filing the execution with the register of deeds (529:29).
Is the subject told?
No. The search uses public records and licensed data only.
How large is the homestead exemption now?
$400,000 per person, up to $550,000 combined, for a primary residence of at least the prior 12 months, effective January 1, 2026 (RSA 480:1).
Is New Hampshire a community property state?
No. It is an equitable distribution state where all property of either spouse is divisible and an equal split is presumed equitable (458:16-a).
Can a creditor reach a single-member LLC?
More readily than a multi-member one. The charging order is otherwise the exclusive remedy, but for a single-member LLC the court may order an execution sale if distributions will not pay the judgment in reasonable time (304-C:126).
Do New Hampshire trusts shield a debtor?
The qualified dispositions statute was repealed in 2017. Under RSA 564-B:5-505A an existing creditor must sue by the later of 4 years after the transfer or 1 year after discovery, with child support and alimony exceptions.
How much of a paycheck is protected?
On a judgment debt, weekly wages up to 50 times the federal minimum hourly wage are exempt from trustee process (512:21, II).
Which law governs fraudulent transfers now?
The Uniform Voidable Transactions Act, RSA 545-B, effective August 31, 2026, which replaced RSA 545-A.
