Getting into a financial venture with a company or an individual proves to be tricky endeavor. True, there are laws that will help you file a case should the transaction turn out fraudulent, but it is always better to nip the problem at the bud and find out if what you're getting into is legitimate. Public records is one of the most effective channels you can explore when conducting an asset search.There are different packages available depending on how much information you wish to acquire regarding someone's assets. Basic searches will most likely include personal belongings, properties and credit history. There are very reliable Web sites that offer advanced asset searches which will provide you more details like past financial ventures, previous companies the person has worked for, previous companies the person owned, aircraft and watercraft ownership, bankruptcy if any, tax liens, corporate records, enhanced marriage and divorce check, judgments on small claims, house ownership, estimated income based on average house value and neighborhood income and other persons he or she may have worked with in the past.Online asset search engines will use a variety of techniques and advanced tools featuring a huge database to make sure that all figures and details are accurate and up-to-date. Financial and property assets will be searched, investigated and verified to prove whether or not the person is telling you the truth regarding his or her credibility. When viewing an asset search report, you have to know how to watch out for bad signs such as:1. His or her personal lifestyle does not match the estimated income. If the person seems to own so much, but have a disproportionate income, you may start to feel doubtful and ask questions.2. The person has a number of civil suits filed against him or her or the person has filed a number of civil suits to other parties in a financial endeavor. Find out the details to stay protected from unscrupulous schemes and other dishonest activities.3. The individual has declared bankruptcy in the past. Although bankruptcy is not immediately a negative factor, you still have to find out if the cause was reasonable.Even if the person has had mishaps with finances in the past, the decision to reconsider and get into a venture with him or her remains entirely up to you. You will need the person's basic identifying information before you are able to conduct a successful asset search online. It will be easier for searchers to narrow down the target if you also include the address, approximate age and current employment. Searches will usually be based on public records since regulations still prioritize the privacy and confidentiality of the individual unless you have legal basis and permission to access other types of records.It is equally important to keep your assets protected by using a number of strategies. Getting a lawyer and accountant will help you make wiser decisions. Liabilities and taxes can also be reduced through useful approaches like insurance and properly choosing the type of partnership that is most advantageous for you. Keep your records as private as possible to keep others from acquiring asset info that may put your business or financial stability at risk. Also learn about state laws and regulations that will help boost the performance of your assets and maximize your security.

Locate Hidden Assets- How to do an Asset Search
By: Ed Opperman
As a private investigator you may be asked to perform an asset search or an asset locate. This is when one person or business entity needs to determine the assets of another person. This would include bank accounts,real estate, businesses and much more.
There are many reasons why the client needs the asset search. It could be a divorce where one spouse suspects the other is hiding wealth or community property. It could be a business partner or investor. It could be a creditor that is ready to file a lawsuit and wants to know if it's worth the effort.
If the debtor has nothing no sense in proceeding with the suit. Can't get blood from a stone as they say.
How to perform an asset search?
Begin your search by delving into these records sources:
Court Records - Bankruptcy, Liens and Judgments - County Court House
Business Licensing - County Court House
Power Of attorney
Divorce proceedings records - State Vital Statistics
UCC filings - Secretary of State's Office
Corporation Records - Secretary of State's Office
Motor vehicle information - State DMV
Trusts
Probate records - State Probate Records
Real Property Records - Assessors Office - County Court House
Be cautious when performing an asset search. In 1999 new laws were passed that made pretexting financial institutions a crime. You can no longer call a financial institutions and pretend to be the account holder to obtain the account holders information.
Wikipedia describes pretexting as :
Pretexting (sometimes referred to as "social engineering") occurs when someone tries to gain access to personal nonpublic information without proper authority to do so. This may entail requesting private information while impersonating the account holder, by phone, by mail, by email, or even by "phishing" (i.e., using a "phony" website or email to collect data). The GLBA encourages the organizations covered by the GLBA to implement safeguards against pretexting. For example, a well-written plan designed to meet GLBA's Safeguards Rule ("develop, monitor, and test a program to secure the information") ought[citation needed] to include a section on training employees to recognize and deflect inquiries made under pretext. In fact, the evaluation of the effectiveness of such employee training probably should include a follow-up program of random spot-checks, "outside the classroom", after completion of the [initial] employee training, in order to check on the resistance of a given (randomly chosen) student to various types of "social engineering" -- perhaps even designed to focus attention on any new wrinkle that might have arisen after the [initial] effort to "develop" the curriculum for such employee training. Under United States law, pretexting by individuals is punishable as a common law crime of False Pretenses.
However there are many perfectly legal methods to obtain this information. You are still able to use the normal investigative techniques routinely used uin any investigation. Interviews,surveillance,dumpster diving, database searches and sources (tipsters and informants).
Many times an investigator you'll be working on a complex case and in the course of your investigation you mat need an asset search. In many cases it may be wise to outsource the asset search part of the investigation to another investigator that routinely performs these type of investigation.
