When clients need an asset search
Before filing suit, to confirm a defendant is worth pursuing. After judgment, to identify what can be levied or garnished. In divorce, to test a spouse's financial disclosure. In probate and trust disputes, to account for what an estate should contain. In commercial matters, to assess a counterparty's real capacity before extending credit or settling a claim.
Miami real estate and Latin American capital
South Florida real estate has long been a destination for wealth leaving Colombia, Venezuela and other Latin American countries, often held through corporations, trusts and third parties. Locating and documenting those holdings is a core part of our practice. We work for creditors and litigants in Latin America seeking assets in the United States, and for Miami clients who need to know what a counterparty holds at home.
Lawful, documented and admissible
Our asset searches rely on public records, licensed databases, field work and interviews. We do not access financial accounts without legal authority, and we tell clients plainly what the law permits. Every report cites its sources so that counsel can move directly to discovery, garnishment or settlement.

Bank account information is protected by federal law and cannot be obtained without legal process. We identify the assets that are lawfully discoverable and help counsel target post-judgment discovery effectively.
How long does an asset search take?
A Florida records search is usually complete within several business days. Multi-state and international searches take longer depending on scope.
Do you search for assets outside Florida?
Yes. We conduct nationwide searches and, through our international network, inquiries in Colombia, Venezuela and elsewhere in Latin America.
