The asset search is used to reveal the financial profile of an individual or business. The
asset search can be useful in matters involving litigation and in general business law.
There are several levels of the asset search, from basic search of public records to very
thorough "deep" asset investigations.

The Asset Search is indispensable when settling lawsuit. If an offer to settle a suit is
made by an insurance company, such as in an auto accident case, the plaintiff's lawyer
needs to be sure that the defendant does not have independent means to cover claims
that exceed the insurance policy.  If the policy were to be accepted and at a later date it
is found that the defendant had significant assets, the plaintiff's attorney would be liable for
the excess claim.

In business related legal matters the asset search is used to determine the financial
worthiness of a potential partner, also known as due diligence investigations. In matters
where there is a potential for legal action, they can be used to determine the ability of a
party to pay if the law suit is successful. In instances where one party owes money to the
other, they are used to collect a debt or judgement. This includes the collection of small
claims judgments. In some cases an individual may have declared bankruptcy, yet there
is a possibility that assets may have been sequestered.

In personal legal matters the asset search is used when divorce is eminent or in process.
There are other times when one needs to know about the assets of another party, such as
in prenuptial (premarital) situations, where they are used to confirm that a potential spouse
has the financial means they claim to have. Asset searches are also useful in estate and
probate matters where the assets of the deceased are not fully known.

We often tell legal clients that discovering assets is an art, not a science. This is
especially true of the more thorough investigations in cases where assets are deliberately
being shielded and hidden.
