Frequently
Asked Questions
Authoritative answers on finding hidden assets, investigation duration, confidentiality, and legal powers.
How do attorneys find assets that are not listed in public records?
Unlike private investigators who rely solely on open databases, attorneys possess compulsory judicial powers. In ongoing litigation or post-judgment enforcement, we issue formal subpoenas to financial institutions, mortgage lenders, credit card processors, and business partners. We depose judgment debtors and accountants under oath, demand forensic production of electronic accounting records, and trace wire transfers to uncover bank accounts, cryptocurrency wallets, and shell entities held through nominees.
Is an asset investigation strictly confidential?
Yes. All investigations and client consultations are strictly protected by attorney-client privilege and work-product doctrine. Furthermore, our financial forensic investigations are conducted in complete compliance with federal laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). Our discreet methods ensure the target is unaware of the preliminary asset audit until formal legal process or emergency freezes are served.
How long does a hidden asset investigation typically take?
Preliminary asset identification and forensic profile construction are typically completed within 2 to 4 weeks. However, if the matter requires formal judicial discovery—such as issuing bank subpoenas, conducting debtor depositions, or domesticating an out-of-state judgment—the recovery process can extend from 2 to 6 months depending on the court docket and the complexity of the debtor's evasive structures.
What happens if a debtor transferred assets to an offshore trust or family member?
Under the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act (UVTA), transfers made with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud creditors can be voided by a court. If assets were moved to family members, friends, or insiders for less than fair market value, we file clawback lawsuits directly against the transferees. If a debtor placed assets into an offshore trust, U.S. judges can order the debtor to repatriate the funds under penalty of civil contempt and incarceration.
