Asset search
Find the assets someone worked hard to hide
Ledgerhound runs an automated asset search across deeds, corporate registries, UCC filings, liens and court records — then resolves the subject to every shell, nominee and straw buyer standing between them and what they own.
What an asset search covers
Six record families, cross-matched against each other rather than searched one at a time.
Real property
County deed transfers, mortgages, mechanic's liens and tax assessments — including $10 quitclaims into freshly formed LLCs.
Business & corporate registries
Secretary of State filings across all 50 states, registered-agent overlaps, officer histories and sudden dissolutions.
Secured interests
UCC-1 financing statements revealing equipment, receivables, vehicles and inventory pledged as collateral.
Court & judgment records
Civil dockets, judgments, divorce filings and bankruptcy schedules where assets were already disclosed under oath.
Vessels, aircraft & vehicles
Titled property registered to nominees, trusts or holding entities rather than the subject's own name.
Financial footprints
Invoice ladders, round-number transfers and lifestyle-to-income gaps that point to accounts worth subpoenaing.
How the search runs
Name the subject
A person or entity, any known aliases, last known jurisdictions, and what you already have on file.
Automated record sweep
Ledgerhound pulls public records in parallel and resolves the subject across misspellings, maiden names and nominee addresses.
Ownership graph
Shells, straw buyers and layered transfers are drawn into one graph with an anomaly score on every hop.
Court-ready report
Each located asset exports with its source document, timestamp and chain of custody so counsel can file directly.
Who runs asset searches
Judgment creditors
You won. Now you need collectable property to levy against before the judgment goes stale.
Attorneys & receivers
Divorce, fraud and insolvency matters where disclosure schedules don't match observable lifestyle.
Investigators
Skip the manual county-by-county pulls and hand the client a sourced report instead of a link dump.
Asset search questions
- What is an asset search?
- An asset search is a structured review of public and public-adjacent records to identify property, business interests, vehicles and financial holdings tied to a person or company — commonly run before litigation, during judgment enforcement, or in divorce and fraud matters.
- How long does an asset search take?
- Most single-subject sweeps close within a few business days. Complex multi-jurisdiction entity webs take longer because registry pulls and document retrieval run at each county's own pace.
- Is an asset search legal?
- Yes, when it relies on public records and lawfully obtained data. Ledgerhound does not access bank records or protected financial data directly; it identifies where assets sit so your counsel can pursue them through proper legal process.
