Asset Searches

Locate hidden assets for divorce, judgment collection, and litigation in DFW. Licensed Texas investigators. Real estate, accounts, business interests.

Asset searches matter most when someone is trying to hide what they have. Whether you are dividing assets in a divorce, attempting to collect on a judgment, supporting commercial litigation, or making a fraud claim, knowing what someone actually owns — and where — determines whether you recover what you are owed.

EJR Agency conducts comprehensive asset investigations across Dallas-Fort Worth and nationwide. We locate real estate holdings, business interests, vehicle and aircraft ownership, financial accounts traceable through public records, judgments held against the subject, and recent asset transfers that may indicate concealment efforts. Our investigators combine database research, public records analysis, field investigation, and skip tracing to build a comprehensive picture of subject net worth.

While we cannot access protected financial records (bank account balances, brokerage holdings) without legal process, we identify the institutions where accounts likely exist, document real and personal property holdings, trace business ownership through corporate filings, and identify recent transfers that attorneys can challenge through discovery. Reports are formatted for use in divorce proceedings, judgment collection, and litigation support.

Common Case Scenarios

Divorce Asset Discovery

A DFW spouse is finalizing a divorce and suspects their partner has concealed assets — possibly transferred to family members or hidden in business entities. EJR conducts a comprehensive asset search documenting hidden real estate, business interests, and recent transfers that family law counsel uses to challenge property division.

Judgment Collection

A DFW business won a judgment but the debtor claims to have no assets. EJR identifies real estate holdings, business interests, and recent transfers — providing the information needed for collection proceedings.

Pre-Litigation Asset Verification

Before filing a lawsuit, a DFW attorney needs to verify that the prospective defendant has assets sufficient to make the litigation worthwhile. EJR delivers an asset profile within days, allowing the attorney to make an informed decision about pursuing the case.

Whether you're heading into divorce mediation, attempting to collect on a judgment, or evaluating the financial standing of a litigation target — knowing what someone actually owns determines what you can recover.

Asset Searches: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an asset search cost in Dallas?

Asset search pricing depends on geographic scope and depth. A focused DFW-area search costs less than a multi-state investigation. Comprehensive investigations involving recent transfer analysis, business ownership tracing, and field investigation cost more but uncover assets that simpler searches miss. EJR provides a scoped estimate during the initial consultation.

Can a private investigator find hidden bank accounts?

Bank account balances are protected by federal law and cannot be accessed by a PI without legal process. However, EJR investigators can identify institutions where the subject likely has accounts, document financial activity visible through public records, identify business interests that hold value, and trace recent transfers — providing attorneys with the information needed to pursue formal discovery.

How long does an asset search take?

Most asset searches deliver in 5-10 business days. Comprehensive investigations involving multi-state real estate searches, business ownership tracing, and recent transfer analysis may take 2-3 weeks. Time-sensitive cases (pending divorce filings, judgment collection deadlines) can be expedited.

Is an asset search legal in Texas?

Yes, asset searches conducted by licensed Texas private investigators using public records and lawful database access are entirely legal. EJR does not access protected financial information without proper legal authorization. Our work focuses on what is publicly documented, what is visible through legal database access, and what field investigation can confirm.

What can you find that an attorney could not find through discovery?

Discovery requires the subject to disclose what they know and have. Asset searches identify what subjects may have failed to disclose, transferred to conceal, or held in entities they did not list. Many divorce and judgment cases benefit from PI asset work conducted before or alongside formal discovery — uncovering assets that motivate honest disclosure or expose dishonest concealment.

Can you trace asset transfers made to hide assets?

Yes. EJR investigators specifically look for recent transfers — to family members, business entities, trusts, or out-of-state addresses — that may indicate concealment. Texas family law and judgment collection both treat fraudulent transfers as challengeable, and our documentation supports those challenges.

Asset Searches Across DFW

Asset investigations rarely stay confined to one city or state. EJR conducts multi-state real estate searches, business ownership tracing across jurisdictions, and recent transfer analysis that reveals concealment patterns wherever the assets ended up.
