Asset Location

First Response Investigations frequently carries out hidden asset locations on behalf of its clients, often for very different and wide-ranging legal reasons.

Our investigators use a combination of forensic computing, real time surveillance, database interrogation and background investigation and research to help locate and retrieve financial and physical assets.

We have also developed a particular method of identifying the beneficial owners of offshore trusts, as well as the experience to determine whether an individual or corporation has sufficient assets to justify litigation.

Some of the common areas of asset searches are:

Establishing the extent of deceit in non-disclosure matters (typically divorce matters)
Locating properties owned by the subject of investigation and establishing their value
Tracing lost funds
Identifying luxury items such as boats, aeroplanes and exotic cars
Evaluating the true worth of offshore held assets
Investigation of suspected money laundering activities such as back-to-back property transactions
Checking Spending and lifestyle patterns
Divorce
The most common instances of asset location and valuation requests from our clients are in divorce matters. All too often many try and hide their true net worth from estranged partners in an effort to pervert the course of justice.

Our Investigators have over 25 years combined experience in assisting clients identify, value, and seize hidden assets all over the world. This even includes some very high-profile cases where funds have been found in offshore bank accounts in domiciles known for their secrecy such as Switzerland and the Cayman Islands, often disguised as dummy-corporation funds.
