Report Contents

Real Property (All 50 States)

Every property deed recorded in the subject’s name or in connected entity names across all U.S. counties. Each entry includes: property address, ownership date, assessed value, mortgage holder and balance (where available), liens and encumbrances, and calculated equity. Our real estate search identifies property held directly and through business entities.

Vehicles, Watercraft, and Aircraft

Motor vehicle registrations, Coast Guard documented vessels, and FAA registered aircraft. Includes entity-titled assets that personal-name searches miss. Our vehicle search catches the luxury car registered to the LLC.

Business Entities and Corporate Holdings

Corporations, LLCs, partnerships, and other entities where the subject appears as officer, director, member, manager, or registered agent across all 50 Secretary of State databases. This reveals business ownership, investment interests, and the entity structures used to hold assets. Our business search traces these connections.

UCC Filings and Secured Collateral

Uniform Commercial Code filings show secured lending relationships and collateral: equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and other commercial assets. A UCC filing against a subject reveals both the asset (collateral) and the financial relationship (lender).

Liens, Judgments, and Court Records

Federal tax liens (IRS), state tax liens, judgment liens from other creditors, mechanic’s liens, and civil litigation history. These records reveal both liabilities and evidence of assets (you do not owe money on assets you do not own).

Property Transfer Analysis

Every property conveyance involving the subject during the relevant period: deeds to relatives, transfers to newly formed entities, sales below market value, and ownership restructuring. Critical for divorce cases and fraud investigation.

Analyst Notes and Strategic Recommendations

Every report concludes with analyst observations: key findings highlighted, entity connections mapped, equity positions calculated, concealment patterns identified, and strategic recommendations for your specific situation. A free consultation is included to discuss findings with your attorney.

What an Asset Search Does NOT Show

Bank account balances (protected by GLBA), investment portfolio details, income or salary amounts, credit scores, social media content, or private communications. These require legal process (subpoenas, discovery requests) or permissible purpose access. Be skeptical of any service claiming to provide this information directly.

By Use Case

How Different Clients Use Asset Search Results

Divorce Attorneys

Use results to verify financial disclosures, identify undisclosed marital property, support discovery requests, prepare for depositions with specific asset questions, and negotiate settlements based on the actual financial picture. See: finding hidden assets in divorce.

Judgment Creditors

Map each asset to an enforcement mechanism: real property for liens, vehicles for writs of execution, bank indicators for levies, wages for garnishment. Calculate whether reachable equity exceeds enforcement costs. See: how to enforce a judgment.

Collection Agencies

Prioritize accounts by collectibility. Skip accounts where debtors truly have no reachable assets. Focus resources on debtors with identified property, vehicles, and business interests. See: collection agency services.

Litigation Attorneys

Evaluate whether to accept a case based on the defendant’s ability to pay a judgment. A defendant with substantial assets makes litigation worthwhile. A defendant with nothing makes it a waste. See: pre-litigation evaluation.

Estate Administrators

Compile the estate inventory required by the probate court. Identify assets the family did not know about. Document fiduciary due diligence. See: finding deceased person’s assets.

Business Partners

Verify a potential partner’s claimed assets before investing or lending. Identify existing liens and encumbrances. Discover undisclosed liabilities. See: due diligence investigation.

Sample Report Walkthrough

A typical asset search report is organized by asset category. First, real property: each property listed with address, county, state, ownership date, assessed value, mortgage holder and estimated balance, liens, and calculated equity. Second, vehicles: make, model, year, registration state, and whether titled personally or to an entity. Third, business entities: entity name, state of formation, entity type, status, officers/members, and registered agent. Fourth, UCC filings: secured party, collateral description, and filing date. Fifth, court records: case type, parties, outcome, and amounts. Sixth, transfer analysis: chronological list of property conveyances with parties and dates. Finally, analyst notes synthesizing the findings and providing strategic observations specific to your case.
