Our private investigators have had decades of experience investigating assets, fraud, and complex internal theft matters. Over this time, our resources and network contacts have also matured.
We are most often tasked to locate assets in divorce cases, where a party has failed to disclose their true asset worth; and in cases where offshore companies, trusts and other types of 'Corporate Veil' have been used to hide the true ownership of assets, whether it is cash, property or a luxury item such as a yacht, plane, or exotic car.
Even if we are tasked to investigate stocks and shares, trust loans, pensions or complex financial products such as fiduciary deposits, our investigators can peel back the evidence, and follow any paper trail. We also carry out investigations into serious and complex frauds, by following paper-trails in order to locate the perpetrators and to find out where our clients lost funds have been hidden. We can instruct an experienced financial investigator in any domicile, including the notorious tax havens famed for their privacy laws, such as: Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Jersey, Guernsey, Turks & Caicos, Luxembourg or Bermuda.
Asset tracing & location services We are very well versed in the techniques used to hide and disguise assets. Although there may be legitimate reasons for disguising or hiding an asset, such as the formation of a Beneficial Trust or for legal tax avoidance, many would seek to do so in order to evade liabilities in divorce matters, and typically, fraud. We can investigate the whereabouts of all manner of assets, whether it is property, offshore bank accounts, even if they are held in jurisdictions such as Switzerland or the British Virgin Islands for example.
We can locate pensions, trusts, share portfolios, fiduciary deposits, luxury items such as yachts and aircraft or collections of exotic and rare cars. An asset investigator from Investigation & Intelligence understands some of the complex financial vehicles that may be used to hide and move assets, such as the use of a 'corporate veil', whereby nominees and power's of attorney have been granted to create buffers between the asset and the identity of its true owner. In the cases of a sudden death, where no will is present, we can provide a comprehensive nation and/or international search of the deceased's assets in order to allow effective probate to occur.
