Private investigators can conduct asset searches to reveal valuable information and potential issues that may be attached to a property. Asset searches can help attorneys with doing their due diligence for clients, settle civil cases, collect debts, and assist in financial clarity for family attorneys and those going through divorces or child custody and support cases. For personal injury and motor vehicle cases, assets are a huge component in settlement agreements during litigation.
Depending on the client and his or her individual circumstance and the facts in the case, private investigators can investigate an individual’s assets using background checks, surveillance, computer forensics, and other financial investigations to collect assets. You can use our professional experience to discover fake names, evidence of fraud, hidden assets, or multiple judgments on the same lawsuit.
