Overview

Assets leave a paper trail. We follow it lawfully.

Real estate, vehicles, vessels, aircraft, business entities and recorded liens are documented in public records, often across several counties and states, and sometimes behind an LLC or a related party.

MAYN Investigations FL searches those records, connects entities to people and organizes the results so your attorney can decide what to pursue through discovery, a subpoena or a collection action.

We are clear about what an investigator can and cannot lawfully obtain, so there are no surprises and nothing that puts your case at risk. Call (321) 340-3280 to discuss your matter.

Who we serve

Asset searches for the matters that need them

Most asset work comes through counsel. Typical matters include:

01

Divorce and hidden marital assets

When a spouse’s disclosures do not match the lifestyle, we look for real property, entities and other assets that may belong in the equitable distribution analysis.

02

High-net-worth divorce

Business owners and professionals with layered holdings, where assets may sit in LLCs, trusts or with related parties.

03

Judgment collection

Locating property and entities a judgment debtor may own, so counsel can evaluate collection options after judgment.

04

Pre-litigation assessment

Before filing, find out whether a potential defendant has assets worth pursuing.

05

Business and partnership disputes

Trace entities, property and relationships connected to a partner, vendor or former employee.

06

Fraud and diversion

Research where money or property may have moved, to support counsel’s discovery and recovery strategy.

Talk to an investigator

Going through a divorce and think assets are missing?

Call to talk it through confidentially. If you have a family law attorney, we can work with them directly.

What is and is not obtainable

Some asset information is public. Some is legally protected and can only be obtained through your attorney, by subpoena, through discovery or with the account holder’s consent. Any investigator who offers bank balances “off the record” is offering something illegal, and it can damage your case.

In Florida divorce cases, financial affidavits and mandatory disclosure are part of the process. Our findings help your attorney test those disclosures and decide where to aim discovery. See also our family law investigations.

What we can lawfully research
  • Public property, court, corporate and lien records
  • FAA aircraft and vessel documentation records
  • Vehicle records only for a permissible purpose under the DPPA
  • Open-source and social-media indicators of assets
  • Connections between people, entities and addresses

What we do not do: we do not obtain bank or brokerage account details by pretexting, which the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act prohibits. Account records, balances and statements come through your attorney by subpoena, discovery or consent.

FAQ

Asset Search FAQ

Straight answers to what attorneys, paralegals and clients ask before an assignment starts. For rates and availability, call (321) 340-3280.

Can a private investigator find bank accounts in Florida?

Not lawfully by pretexting. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act prohibits obtaining a person’s financial-account information from a bank by false pretenses.

What an investigator can do is find indicators, such as entities, property and liens, that help your attorney target bank and brokerage records through a subpoena or discovery.

How can an asset search help in a Florida divorce?

Florida divides marital assets through equitable distribution, and both spouses must disclose their finances. An asset search helps your attorney check those disclosures against public records and spot property, entities or transfers that may need explaining.

Can you find assets hidden in an LLC or with a relative?

Often we can identify the connections. Corporate filings, registered agents, shared addresses and property records can link a person to entities and related parties. Whether those assets are reachable is a legal question for your attorney.

Do you work with judgment creditors?

Yes. We help counsel identify real property, entities and other assets of a judgment debtor so they can evaluate collection options. Florida exemptions, such as homestead protection, may limit what can be collected, and your attorney will advise on that.

Can I hire you directly if I am going through a divorce?

Yes. We work with individuals as well as attorneys. If you have a family law attorney, we recommend we coordinate with them so the work supports your case strategy.

How much does an asset search cost?

It depends on the scope and the number of jurisdictions. Call for rates. We will outline the options before any work begins.
