Locating Assets
Assets are classed as either "tangible" or "intangible." Assets are either personal property or real property. An individual's personal property includes everything he or she owns. Find bank accounts or something to attach: a vehicle, real property, a house. The best way to locate real property is through property records. If the owner has homestead exemption on the house, you're not going to be able to touch it. However, if he owns the lot next door, you can grab that. If he owns an apartment building you can go for that. The easiest is bank accounts. Most assets are moved over to relatives, wife's maiden names, or in-laws. Find out the maiden name if you don't already know it. Start in marital records, county courthouse. |
