What Is an Asset and Liability Investigation?
An asset and liability investigation determines the subject’s current and historical financial position, including assets, income sources, debts, and legal obligations. Investigators leverage databases, proprietary tools, and public records—never relying solely on automated reports—to ensure accuracy and confidentiality.

Asset and liability investigations are a cornerstone professional service for uncovering the true financial standing of individuals or businesses. Thorough investigations include searching for both visible and hidden assets and identifying liabilities using direct, legal sources and advanced research techniques. These services are especially valuable for legal disputes, business due diligence, debt collection, divorce, and other scenarios requiring financial transparency and risk mitigation.
