Hidden Asset Search
Hidden Asset Search investigations consists of discreet, in depth reports which are utilized to locate hidden assets, verify assets and liabilities, and to provide preliminary information needed for seizing monies owed.
To successfully trace money and property, a private investigator must know how to uncover hidden assets, how to identify ownership interests often camouflaged by changes in the structure and nature of the ownership, and how to accurately unravel cleverly disguised control over, and interest in, property. Asset Recovery is the broad term used by those who provide asset services.
