Asset Search Investigations in Miami

An asset search helps clarify what the available records show about a person or company. It can support a dispute, judgment review or business decision. It also reveals where records are incomplete and further legal process may be needed.

FSO Guard’s licensed investigators conduct asset searches in Miami and throughout Florida. We trace ownership indicators through lawful sources and report the evidence behind each finding.

What an asset search finds

Real estate. Research can cover ownership, purchase history, mortgages, liens and transfers. We assess links to companies or other parties without assuming a link proves ownership.
Vehicles, vessels and aircraft. We review records that may lawfully be accessed for the documented purpose.
Business interests. Filings can show company roles, related entities and changes over time. A registered-agent listing alone does not establish ownership.
Debts and filings. Judgments, liens, bankruptcies and secured-interest records help explain the apparent financial picture.
Account indicators. Court files and other lawful records may point to a financial institution. Your attorney determines whether further records can be sought through legal process.
Field observations. Lawful observation may help verify use of a property, vehicle or vessel. Reports distinguish use from documented ownership.

When you need one

Before a claim. Findings can help counsel assess whether further action is practical.
After judgment. Research identifies leads for counsel to evaluate for lawful enforcement.
Family matters. Records research can assist counsel in reviewing disputed disclosures or property transfers.
Business decisions. Review available ownership and financial indicators before a transaction. Explore corporate investigations and due diligence for broader checks.
Estates. Search for records of a deceased person’s property or transfers relevant to the estate.
Suspected fraud. Asset tracing can support fraud investigations by examining available records of where property or funds moved.

How we work — and what we will not do

Each search starts with a written agreement and a lawful purpose. Sources include public records, court files and authorized databases. We do not access bank or brokerage accounts or use deceptive methods to obtain protected information.

A search cannot promise access to private balances or complete ownership information. Read what a private investigator can and cannot do for the limits of investigative work.

The report

The report groups findings by asset type. It includes sources, record copies and a transfer timeline where relevant. Possible connections and unresolved questions are clearly marked for counsel’s review.

Counsel decides how to use the findings in a legal matter. Investigators can testify about the research and observations when required.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you find someone's bank accounts?

Not by simply looking them up. Bank and brokerage account information is protected by federal law (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), and any 'investigator' who promises balances from a database is either breaking the law or selling fiction. What we lawfully do is identify indicators of where accounts likely exist: from public records, litigation files, UCC filings, business records and field work, so your attorney can obtain the details through post-judgment discovery, subpoenas or garnishment. That is how real asset recovery works.

What assets can an asset search legally find?

Real property and transfers (including quitclaims to relatives), mortgages and liens, vehicles, boats and aircraft, business ownership and officer roles, related entities and shell companies, UCC filings, judgments for and against the subject, bankruptcies, professional licenses, notable personal property revealed through records, and lifestyle indicators that contradict a claim of no assets.

When should I order an asset search?

Before filing a lawsuit (is the defendant collectible?), before accepting or offering a settlement, immediately after obtaining a judgment, during a divorce when you suspect hidden assets, before extending significant credit or entering a partnership, and when a debtor claims to be broke while living well.

Do you work with attorneys?

Most of our asset work comes through attorneys: collection, family law, commercial litigation and probate. We deliver findings in a form that supports discovery requests, depositions in aid of execution and fraudulent transfer claims, and we testify when needed. Clients may engage us directly or through counsel.

How much does an asset search cost and how long does it take?

Standard individual or business asset searches are quoted as a flat fee per subject depending on scope and jurisdictions; comprehensive searches with field verification and multi-state coverage are quoted after a consultation. Most reports are delivered within three to ten business days. We confirm the price in writing before starting.
