Many organizations, as well as individuals in a scenario of legal dispute, find themselves in a position to locate hidden assets that the opposing party or debtor attempts to conceal. Asset investigation is not limited to corporate clients but is used for divorce proceedings as well as evaluating the financial worth of an individual. Asset investigation seeps in to fill in the cracks and uncover any hidden assets, including bank accounts, real estate, and other valuable property/assets.
Many are unaware of the knowledge of assets – limiting the subsequent to the aspects of real estate, bank accounts, and other properties. Nonetheless, the subject of assets is further fragmented into an off-balance sheet and intangible assets – broadening the possibilities for acquisition. Thus, asset investigation entirely depends on the size of the company and the accumulation of liability in relation to equity.
However, asset investigation is complicated and time-consuming, requiring attention to detail and access to databases in order to obtain a big picture to support the case; that’s why it is important to take professional guidance from private investigators who tend to connect with various useful resources.
One of the leading investigation companies, Najar Investigations, a private limited corporation founded by Mohammed Najar in 2012, offers a variety of services, including due diligence, asset search investigation, and many other services like attorney services, as well as Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Investigation to both companies and individuals worldwide. The company is headquartered in the city of Murrieta, California, and operates on the basis of sole proprietorship.
Mohammed Najar served in the United States military for over 20 years, specifically contributing to the law enforcement domain. However, after his disability, he launched his company to assist others with his extensive knowledge and expertise.
In order to cater to a diverse clientele, Najar Investigations aims to narrow the gap by offering bilingual investigators who have fluency in Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, French, Korean, Mandarin, and Spanish.
Considering asset investigation, the concerning point for most clients is finding active bank accounts and assessing whether the accounts hold sufficient funds to fulfill the claim. Likewise, in order to cater to the requirements of clients, Najar Investigations conduct comprehensive investigations resulting in obtaining confidential financial accounts that the client might not have previously had any knowledge about.
Moreover, the fixed assets, including land, buildings, and real estate, constitute an important part of overall business valuation. Thus, obtaining the valuation of fixed assets is based on local market estimations and assessments. Diving further into the complications of mortgage financing and equity valuation requires sound knowledge. Najar Investigations has a team of professional financial investigators who provide guidance for asset searches in order to make informed decisions.
Furthermore, the companies with the title of limited liability protect themselves from the personal responsibility of debt. However, during the time of judgment, the shield of limited liability is uplifted – piercing the veil – ensuring the creditors recover the personal assets owned by the debtors. Thus, Najar Investigations guides through the following cases by collecting evidence to support the motion of piercing the corporate veil.
