Financial Account Tracing
Overview
Financial account tracing locates banking, brokerage, retirement, and business-ownership interests associated with a subject — including accounts held under nominees, corporate shells, or relatives. We combine legal-process research (asset reports from credit-header providers, court records, UCC filings, Secretary of State records) with forensic investigation to build a complete financial picture. Reports are formatted for attorney use in discovery, judgment enforcement, and marital dissolution.
Who It's For
- Spouses in divorce suspecting hidden accounts
- Judgment creditors pursuing collection
- Attorneys preparing asset schedules for litigation
- Heirs and fiduciaries in probate or trust disputes
- Businesses conducting fraud investigations
Typical Deliverables
- Comprehensive asset report with bank and brokerage locations
- Business-ownership filings and UCC records
- Real-property holdings and vehicle titles
- Subpoena targets with supporting documentation
- Attorney-ready exhibits for asset schedules
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you actually see account balances?
Not directly — GLBA makes pretexting for balances illegal. What we produce is an identification of where accounts exist: which bank, which branch, approximate opening date, and signatory information. Your attorney then uses that information to subpoena the bank for statements.
Can you find offshore or international accounts?
Often, particularly in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and common offshore centers. We work with vetted local partners and use FinCEN, OFAC, FATCA, and leaked-database resources (Pandora Papers, Paradise Papers) where appropriate.
