Benefits of Hiring Experienced Asset Investigators

Our team of experts does so much more than just a records search. Proper asset investigation takes time and careful documentation. Our Asset investigations have been utilized in high-profile cases and lower court cases alike and withstand the scrutiny of the courts - and evasion of those looking to conceal hidden assets.

 

Hidden Assets can be difficult to trace, but not for JSG.

What are some of the ways that people try to hide assets?

Individuals and companies can hide assets in various ways. They often attempt to do this to avoid the chance of losing their assets in a court-ordered judgment, to evade federal or state taxes, or during a divorce proceeding where the assets declared by each party is determining property and spousal support.

Attempts to hide assets can result in creating off-shore or “shell” companies in small island nations. People also attempt to hide assets by transfers of real estate, titles, boats, R.V., and aircraft titles to family members. Justice Solution Group’s asset investigation methodology uncovers these attempts to transfer property, establishing evidence that can later be used in a fraudulent transfer action.

Some of the most common ways individuals and small businesses hide money include:

  • Opening an LLC/C-Corp, then closing it, but keeping the bank account open. (Banks rarely ask for verification that the business is still operational).

  • Opening a business banking account as a DBA, instead of a personal checking account.

  • Running checks and other deposits through a family member, who in turn gives the person cash or wires them the money.

  • Opening shell companies to accept payments and then paying for personal expenses out of that account (co-mingling funds).

  • Using pre-paid debit cards as a bank, where they can receive funds and use the card like any traditional bank card.

  • Opening a business and claiming a loss every year until they close the business. They then repeat the cycle by starting another business.

  • Opening a small business and running two sets of books, where not all cash is reported.

Asset Search FAQ

Have more questions? Just give us a call: (800) 278-9329

 
 

  • We do not conduct asset recovery or judgment collection for individuals, nor do we “buy” judgments. We are only in the business of identifying assets for recovery. It is often easier than people realize to collect civil judgments. Our investigators will be happy to point you in the right direction for tactics to recover judgments.

    For corporate and legal clients, we can assist with recovery, depending on the amount owed. Each legal case has different standards for due diligence reporting, so speak with your SIU investigator about the needs specific to your case.

  • Searches typically take between 7-10 days. We can sometimes complete the search faster, depending on the nature of the case. For difficult subjects or special cases, the average is 14 days. Searches can be expedited for an additional fee.

  • No. Our asset searches are conducted discreetly without the subject being notified or "Tipped Off" in any way. We do not pretext banks pretending to be the customer.

  • The most common reason to obtain bank account or brokerage account information (liquid assets) is so that a civil judgment or child support judgment can be enforced by a levy. Clients also perform searches to:

    Identify property to place a lien against to satisfy a judgment

    Aid in determining whether or not to proceed with a lawsuit

    Identifying all non-exempt assets that can be used to satisfy a judgment such as vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, etc.

    Identifying and confirming all assets in a divorce or a bankruptcy

    Identifying and establishing admissible evidence that can later be used in a fraudulent action suit

  • Yes, as long as they follow FCRA, GLBA and Local/State guidelines and the methods used are legal (like ours). We only conduct asset searches with a permissible purpose:

    Debt Collection & Judgment Recovery, Fraud Prevention or Detection, Pre-Litigation

    Fraud Prevention (possible hidden assets) and Insurance Investigations.

  • Asset searches cannot be used for any evidentiary purposes (i.e. to corroborate testimony, exhibits etc.) It is not substantiated evidence. The information contained in reports can only be used as an intelligence aid in obtaining subpoenas, writs of execution, judgments and liens, (without directly referencing information contained in the reports), and to obtain substantiated evidentiary information by subpoena or court order. There are NO personal appearance subpoena's for asset searches.

  • Yes. Our service is not intended to be a game of "Test the Investigators"

    We are here to work with the client to identify and verify known assets, not just find assets that the client may not be aware of.

  • Not at this time. Current regulations prohibit institutions from providing transactions.

  • No. We are only able to obtain credit reports by written authorization of the consumer.

  • Unfortunately, we cannot make people have assets, so we charge for the effort of the search, not for the results in assets. If the subject has assets, we will find them and report them. If the subject does not have assets, we provide a report of our detailed search, either way.
