Uncover Assets with The Terrapin Group

We uncover the real picture of a subject’s wealth—onshore and offshore—so you can enforce a judgment, prosecute or defend a claim, negotiate from strength, or recover what’s yours. Our work blends investigative rigor, financial forensics, and litigation-ready documentation to surface assets and the structures used to hide them.

• Judgment enforcement & collections after litigation or arbitration
• Commercial disputes & fraud (embezzlement, diversion, self-dealing)
• Family law (divorce, support, undisclosed income/assets)
• Bankruptcy & insolvency (preference actions, clawbacks)
• M&A and lender diligence (counterparty verification, encumbrances)
• Insurance & subrogation (recovery paths)
• Cross-border matters involving shell companies, nominees, or trusts

1. Intake & scoping – Define the legal objective, targets, and jurisdictions; align on evidentiary standards.
2. Rapid triage – Baseline net-worth indicators, red flags, and likely asset classes.
3. Deep trace – Follow money, ownership, and control through public records, corporate registries, court filings, property rolls, lien/UCC databases, trade data, and open-source intelligence.
4. Network mapping – Chart relationships among people, entities, accounts, and intermediaries (nominees, trustees, professional enablers).
5. Verification – Corroborate findings across independent sources; date-stamp and preserve evidence.
6. Recovery strategy – Recommend practical next steps (demand letters, preservation notices, prejudgment remedies, targeted discovery, and coordinated filings).

• Real property and beneficial interests (homes, investment properties, land)
• Business interests (operating companies, partnerships, SPVs, trusts)
• Vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and high-value personal property
• Intellectual property and royalty streams
• Accounts receivable, inventory, and contract rights
• Digital assets and crypto wallets (on-chain attribution & tracing)
• Liens, encumbrances, and hidden leverage that affect collectability

Note: Direct bank/brokerage records usually require lawful process. We identify indicators, counterparties, and pathways so counsel can obtain records via subpoena or court order.

• Corporate registries, beneficial-ownership filings, and offshore leaks analysis
• Property rolls, title histories, UCCs, liens, and judgments
• Litigation dockets and regulatory actions (state, federal, international)
• Trade, customs, and maritime/aviation registries
• Media, adverse-news, and social/digital footprinting
• Blockchain analytics and entity clustering
• Link-analysis and timeline reconstruction

• Executive brief summarizing key assets, structures, and pressure points
• Asset map (diagram) and source-indexed evidence packet
• Affidavit-ready exhibits with citations and capture metadata
• Recovery playbook tailored to your venue, timeline, and risk tolerance

We work within all applicable laws and professional norms, including GLBA, FCRA, DPPA, GDPR, and anti-pretexting rules. We do not hack, misrepresent, or obtain restricted data without proper authority. Our reports are designed for use by counsel and are not “consumer reports” for employment or credit decisions.

• Cross-border diversion: Traced diverted receivables through an Isle of Man holding to U.S. real property; counsel secured a TRO and negotiated repayment.
• Family office dispute: Mapped nominee-held LLCs to three luxury properties and a yacht; court appointed a receiver and assets were liquidated.
• Post-judgment recovery: Identified concealed equipment and inventory via UCCs and logistics data; sheriff’s levy satisfied the remaining balance.

• Names, DOBs, and known identifiers for subjects/entities
• Case posture (complaint, judgment, arbitration, or pre-suit)
• Known addresses, associates, and jurisdictions of interest
• Any prior reports or discovery materials

How long does an asset trace take? Scope varies by jurisdiction count and complexity. We phase work so you see early, high-value leads fast, then decide on deeper digs.
Can you find offshore assets? Yes—by following control and benefit through registries, filings, leaks datasets, and transactional breadcrumbs, then coordinating with counsel for lawful process.
Will this hold up in court? We cite sources, preserve capture metadata, and structure exhibits to support motions, subpoenas, and testimony.
Do you guarantee recovery? No one can. We maximize your leverage by surfacing assets, encumbrances, and the most efficient legal paths to reach them.
