Asset Searches are performed to discover real estate and personal property held by either an individual or a company. When a Private Investigator performs an Asset Search, it uncovers any potential liabilities and values that are tied to a property.
Asset Searches are performed for the following reasons:
● Settle personal injury cases
● Due diligence
● Debt collection
● Financial statement verification
● Divorce
● Child support
Asset Searches performed by Private Investigators can be beneficial for several reasons. If you are owed money, an Asset Investigation can inform you whether or not the person is capable of paying you back. This will make it easier to go to small claims court and provide proof of the person’s ability to pay the debt. The Asset Investigation will also let you know where the subject stands with other creditors.
If you are employed, yet are unsure of the company’s financial position, an Asset Search can provide you with all you need to know about their financial stability.
Also, if you are the victim of fraud and a company or individual is claiming to not have the funds to settle a debt, an Asset Investigation can settle this.
