Trusted Since 1994
Pre – Litigation – Asset Searches
Asset Investigations
Prior to initiating a civil lawsuit, clients call TIN to investigate the financial and non-financial assets of an individual and/or an entity. TIN will verify, locate and uncover non-financial assets such as real property, vehicles, boats, aircraft, equipment, unclaimed property, and leads to other asset related information. When establishing the financial assets of an individual and/or entity is critical, GLB compliant bank and brokerage account searches may also be conducted. A TIN conducted Asset Investigation allows our clients the opportunity to assess legal costs associated with filing a lawsuit in relation to the opportunity to recoup the prior monetary losses.
Post-Judgement – Collection
Asset Investigations
When a party wins a lawsuit and has not yet received payment for the judgement in their favor, TIN’s asset investigation establishes a person or company’s legitimate ability to satisfy the financial judgment previously rendered in favor of our client. The objective for this type of investigation is to locate and determine the value of categorically specific, undisclosed non-financial and financial assets. For proper analysis, TIN also includes research of liens, judgements and bankruptcy filings, which often offset the value of the newly identified assets.
Divorce – Hidden Assets
Asset Investigations
Family law attorneys often engage TIN for the purposes of locating and identifying non-financial and financial assets that an individual has intentionally and strategically hidden from his/her spouse. TIN has successfully located hidden bank accounts, brokerage accounts, vacation homes, exotic vehicles, boats, and persons with knowledge of other assets. This area of sensitive, asset-related information can often be of great value in a contentious divorce proceeding.
Commercial Loan Default
Asset Investigations
It is not uncommon for a bank, a capital group or a trustee in a bankruptcy matter to be the last to know when a struggling company has made the decision to close the doors and leave town — possibly leaving behind an office building, a facility, working equipment, a heavy debt load, other creditors and/or a host of angry customers. TIN has an extensive record of tracking down debtors and locating the assets and financial accounts of those individuals – and entities – that have attempted to evade creditors and financial obligations.
Business Assets – Identification
Asset Investigations
In support of client M & A matters, TIN’s asset identification and verification process authenticates the existence of, ownership, specifications for and the value of various commercial assets. TIN’s process includes real estate, mineral interests, equipment and/or collateral, aircraft, watercraft and vessels, rail cars, vehicles, collateral pledged, materials, financial accounts, etc. This information allows a company to be fully informed of the assets and liabilities they are acquiring when merging with another entity.
Probate & Estate
Asset Investigations
The death of a loved one believed to have had significant assets and/or personal possessions can leave many questions. In order for an estate matter to be properly resolved, it is not uncommon for TIN to be engaged by a probate attorney or an administrator entrusted to correctly identify, valuate, document and distribute a decedent’s possessions. In working with executors and administrators in this area, TIN has successfully located non-financial and financial assets, which have led to the efficient, equitable and orderly dispositions of numerous probate and estate matters.
