There are clearly situations in which it is essential to use a Long Island Private Investigator to check for the possibility of hidden assets. Knowledge of such assets can make a big difference in the establishment of grounds for particular types of interpersonal actions or the furthering of certain business relationships here on Long Island. An asset search is vital to full disclosure of resources in a variety of civil and personal matters.  The primary reasons to use Private Investigators on Long Island for an asset search in the private or family sector are:

Your Long Island Business Venture – If one is considering investing in a new business, bringing a new investor into an existing company or contemplating a merger between companies, it is essential to conduct a thorough background check on the individual or corporation. Such a check also includes a comprehensive assets search.

Collections– When one of the courts here on Long Island order a sum of money to be paid as part of a civil action, a judgment is issued, but the money is not just handed over then. The collection process is the responsibility of the plaintiff and a private investigator can help.  Even if the debtor is going to surrender an item of property towards the judgment, be certain to have a private investigator do an asset search before taking possession. If there are any liens against the property, taking possession may also bring with it liability for the lien.

Family Law Matters – The finances involved in most Long Island divorces can often become rather complicated. It is not uncommon for a spouse to hide assets that would be open to dispute. Your Long Island Private Investigator will conduct an asset search of the other party to be certain that all assets are accounted for.

Child Support – Long Island child support enforcement agencies are not equipped to locate parents who evade their child support obligations with much efficiency. Quite often the errant parent will attempt to hide assets, thus pleading an inability to meet child support or alimony payments. In child support cases, your Long Island private investigator can locate the parent and acquire information regarding their wages or any hidden assets.  That information can then be given to your Long Island child support enforcement agency which will help facilitate collection.

Prior to a Lawsuit – It is important to conduct an assets search prior to filing suit against an individual or company.  Your Long Island Private Investigator can determine what assets or regular income is present in the event a judgment is ordered by the court.  You don’t want to pay for a Long Island lawsuit if you are not going to recover anything.

Contesting of a Will – Quite often personal assets may be hidden and not disclosed in a will. Potential beneficiaries or those entitled to a claim against the estate should search for the possibility of hidden assets.
