Asset Search Services
When you need to know what someone owns, two services cover everything. U.S. Title Records provides property-specific searches: find all real estate a person owns ($75 statewide / $535 nationwide), check liens on any property ($95), trace ownership history with deed copies ($275), and retrieve specific deed documents ($45). U.S. Asset Records, our sister company, provides full asset investigation beyond real estate: vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, business interests, UCC filings, court records, judgment liens, bankruptcy filings, and skip tracing. Together, these two services deliver a complete financial profile for attorneys, creditors, collection firms, private investigators, and businesses across all 50 states. Anonymous and confidential. Reports by email in PDF format within 24 to 48 hours.
BBB A+ rated since 2009. All 50 states. 3,250+ counties. Anonymous and confidential.
Two Services, One Complete Picture
Finding what someone owns requires two types of investigation. Real property searches tell you what real estate a person owns, what encumbrances exist on each property, and how the ownership has changed over time. Full asset searches go beyond real estate to cover vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, business interests, financial indicators, court records, and corporate structures.
U.S. Title Records handles the real property side. Our experienced abstractors access county recorder databases, title plants, and courthouse records across 3,250+ counties nationwide. When you need to find all properties someone owns, check for liens, or trace ownership history, this is where you order. No account required. No subscription. Reports by email in PDF format.
U.S. Asset Records handles everything else. Their investigators search DMV records, FAA registrations, Coast Guard vessel documentation, Secretary of State corporate filings, UCC filing offices, bankruptcy courts, and proprietary databases to build a complete financial profile. When you need the full picture beyond real estate, this is where you order.
Most attorneys and creditors need both. The property search from USTR tells you specifically about real estate (the most valuable and most attachable asset class for most debtors). The asset investigation from USAR tells you about everything else. Together, they leave no asset undiscovered.
U.S. Title Records: real property searches (Title Search by Name $75/$535, Lien Reports $95, Chain of Title $275, Deed Copies $45). Order at ustitlerecords.com. U.S. Asset Records: full asset investigation (real estate + vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, business interests, UCC, court records, skip trace). Contact at 1-888-570-4470 or usassetrecords.com. Both services cover all 50 states. Anonymous and confidential. Reports in 24-48 hours.
What Each Service Covers

|---|---|---|
| Real estate (residential, commercial, land) | Yes (all 50 states, 3,250+ counties) | Yes (included in full investigation) |
| Property liens (mortgages, judgments, tax) | Yes ($95 per property) | Yes (summary level) |
| Chain of title / ownership history | Yes ($275 with deed copies) | Transfer flags only |

| Corporate structure tracing | No | Yes (officers, directors, agents) |
When you need detailed property data (specific lien amounts, deed copies, grantor/grantee indexes, recording references for court filings), U.S. Title Records provides that depth. When you need to find every asset type a debtor or spouse owns, U.S. Asset Records provides that breadth. The two services complement each other rather than overlap.
Who Needs Asset Search Services
Creditor Attorneys and Collection Firms
Judgment enforcement starts with knowing what the debtor owns. USTR's Title Search by Name ($75) finds attachable real property. USAR's full investigation adds vehicles, business interests, and financial indicators. Together, they create the collection roadmap your firm needs to decide which assets to target first. See our dedicated title search for judgment collection page for the complete creditor workflow.
Collecting on a judgment? Start with a $75 property search to find attachable real estate. Add a full asset investigation from U.S. Asset Records for the complete debtor profile.
Divorce and Family Law Attorneys
Property division requires finding everything each spouse owns. USTR's Title Search by Name ($75 per spouse) finds all real property under each name. USAR's investigation uncovers vehicles, business interests, and assets hidden in corporate structures. This is particularly valuable when one spouse suspects the other is hiding assets. See our dedicated title search for divorce page for the family law workflow.
Suspect hidden assets in a divorce? All searches are anonymous and confidential. Your spouse is never notified. Start with property ($75).
Litigation Attorneys (Pre-Suit Evaluation)
Before investing in litigation, attorneys need to know if the prospective defendant has sufficient assets to satisfy a judgment. A pre-litigation asset search from USAR combined with a Title Search by Name ($75) from USTR answers that question for a fraction of the cost of filing suit. If the defendant has no attachable assets, the case may not be worth pursuing regardless of the legal merits. See our title search for attorneys page for the full attorney guide.
Is the case worth filing? A $75 property search now could save $30,000+ in uncollectible litigation costs.
Estate and Probate Attorneys
Estate settlement requires identifying all property the deceased owned. USTR's Title Search by Name ($75 statewide / $535 nationwide) finds all real property under the deceased's name. USAR's investigation adds vehicles, business interests, and financial accounts. Together, these form the estate inventory. See our title search for probate page for the probate workflow.
Private Investigators
PIs supporting attorney clients, insurance companies, and businesses use both services to build complete subject profiles. USTR provides the detailed property data (lien amounts, deed copies, ownership chains) that PIs need for litigation support. USAR provides the broader investigation (vehicles, business affiliations, court records) that rounds out the profile.
Businesses and Due Diligence Teams
Before entering into partnerships, acquisitions, or lending relationships, businesses verify the financial standing of counterparties. USTR property searches confirm real estate holdings. USAR investigations reveal business interests, UCC filings, existing litigation, and bankruptcy history.
Creditor attorneys (judgment enforcement, debtor asset identification). Divorce attorneys (hidden asset discovery, property division). Litigation attorneys (pre-suit viability, defendant assets). Estate attorneys (estate inventory, beneficiary verification). Private investigators (subject profiling). Businesses (due diligence, partner verification). U.S. Title Records handles real property ($75-$535). U.S. Asset Records handles everything else (vehicles, business interests, UCC, court records). Together: complete financial profile.

How the Two Services Work Together
Many clients order from both companies in a coordinated sequence. Here is the typical workflow.
Start with the Property Search
Order Title Search by Name ($75 statewide / $535 nationwide) from U.S. Title Records. This finds all real property the subject currently owns. Real estate is typically the most valuable and most verifiable asset class.
Add Lien Reports on Key Properties
Order Property Lien Reports ($95 each) from U.S. Title Records on the properties with the most value. This reveals encumbrances and estimates available equity.
Order the Full Asset Investigation
Contact U.S. Asset Records (1-888-570-4470) for the broader investigation: vehicles, business interests, UCC filings, court records, and corporate structure tracing.
Compile the Complete Profile
Combine the USTR property reports (detailed lien data, deed copies, recording references) with the USAR investigation report (vehicles, entities, financial indicators) into a single case file. This is the complete asset picture your attorney or client needs.
Why start with the property search instead of the full investigation? Because the $75 Title Search by Name from USTR provides immediate, specific, actionable data on the most valuable asset class. If the name search returns properties with substantial equity, you may not need the full USAR investigation at all. If it returns zero properties, the USAR investigation becomes more important to find other asset types. The property search is the triage tool that determines the next step.
Step 1: Title Search by Name ($75/$535) from U.S. Title Records finds all real property. Step 2: Lien Reports ($95 each) estimate equity on key properties. Step 3: Full asset investigation from U.S. Asset Records (1-888-570-4470) adds vehicles, business interests, UCC, court records. Step 4: Combine reports into complete subject profile. Start with USTR because the $75 property search is the fastest, cheapest way to determine if valuable assets exist.
Real-World Asset Search Scenarios
Creditor Attorney: $500K Judgment, Debtor Claims Poverty
A creditor attorney in California held a $500,000 judgment against a business owner who claimed to have no assets. A nationwide Title Search by Name ($535) from USTR revealed three properties: a primary residence in Los Angeles County, a rental condo in Nevada, and vacant land in Oregon. Lien Reports ($95 each) showed $180,000 in combined equity across the three properties. A full asset investigation from U.S. Asset Records additionally identified two vehicles, a boat registered in Nevada, and an LLC that owned commercial equipment with no recorded UCC liens. Total discoverable assets exceeded $400,000. The debtor's "poverty" claim collapsed under the evidence.
Debtor claims no assets? A $535 nationwide property search often tells a different story.
Divorce Attorney: Spouse Hiding Assets Through Business
A family law attorney in Texas suspected the opposing spouse was hiding marital assets in a business structure. Statewide Title Search by Name orders ($75 each) from USTR under both the husband's name and his company name revealed four properties: the marital home, two rental duplexes, and a commercial warehouse - all titled under the LLC. Lien Reports ($95 each) showed $650,000 in combined equity across the portfolio. U.S. Asset Records additionally identified that the husband was the sole member of two LLCs and owned a boat and three vehicles. The financial disclosure had listed only the marital home and one vehicle. The undisclosed assets totaled over $700,000. See also: title search for divorce.
Suspect hidden marital assets? Search under both spouse names AND entity names. $75 per name, anonymous, confidential.
Collection Firm: Volume Debtor Screening
A collection firm in New York managing 300+ active judgments needed to prioritize which debtors to pursue. The firm ordered statewide Title Search by Name ($75 each) from USTR on their 100 highest-value debtors. Of those 100 searches, 34 returned real property ownership. Lien Reports ($95 each) on those 34 properties identified 19 with equity above the New York homestead exemption. The firm then ordered full asset investigations from U.S. Asset Records on the 15 highest-equity debtors. The combined intelligence allowed the firm to focus its enforcement resources on the 19 debtors with the most collectible assets, rather than spreading effort across 300+ files with unknown recovery prospects.

Pre-Litigation: Is This Case Worth Filing?
An attorney in Ohio was evaluating a $250,000 breach of contract claim. Before investing in litigation, the attorney ordered a statewide Title Search by Name ($75) from USTR. The search returned zero properties. A Background Report ($95) revealed four existing judgment liens and a recent bankruptcy filing. A follow-up investigation from U.S. Asset Records confirmed no vehicles, no business interests, and no attachable assets. The attorney advised the client that the judgment would be uncollectible. The $170 in USTR searches plus the USAR investigation fee prevented approximately $40,000 in litigation costs on a case that would have produced an unenforceable judgment.
Evaluating a case? A $75 property search before filing could save your client tens of thousands in uncollectible litigation.
Estate Attorney: Finding All Assets of a Deceased Business Owner
A probate attorney in Florida was settling the estate of a business owner who died without a detailed will. The family knew about the primary residence and one bank account. A nationwide Title Search by Name ($535) from USTR revealed five properties across Florida, New York, and Tennessee - three more than the family knew about. U.S. Asset Records additionally identified two LLCs, a boat, and several vehicles. The estate inventory was far larger than anyone anticipated. Chain of Title reports ($275 each) on the key properties confirmed ownership dates and identified one property where the deceased was still listed as owner despite a transfer to a family trust that was never properly recorded. See also: title search for probate.
Settling an estate? A nationwide name search ($535) finds properties the family may not know about.
In these scenarios, property searches and asset investigations uncovered $400,000+ from a debtor claiming poverty, $700,000 in undisclosed marital assets hidden through LLCs, prioritized 19 collectible debtors from a 300-file portfolio, prevented $40,000 in uncollectible litigation, and found 3 additional properties in an estate the family did not know about. The property search ($75-$535) is always the starting point. The full investigation adds breadth when needed.
Start with U.S. Title Records ($75 name search) to find real property. If the subject owns valuable real estate, you may not need a full investigation. If they own no property or you need vehicles, business interests, and court records, add U.S. Asset Records (1-888-570-4470). The $75 property search is the triage tool: it determines the next step in 24 hours for a fraction of the cost of a full investigation. For attorneys handling multiple cases, the property search becomes a standard intake step. A $75 investment per case prevents the firm from spending $30,000 or more pursuing a debtor with no attachable assets, or from missing $500,000 in undisclosed marital property that changes the entire settlement dynamic. The return on a property search is measured not in the report itself but in the decisions it enables.
Common Situations and Which Service to Order
You Won a Judgment and the Debtor Will Not Pay
Start with a Title Search by Name ($75 statewide) from U.S. Title Records. If the debtor owns real property, order Lien Reports ($95 each) to estimate equity. Record your judgment lien in every county where property exists. For assets beyond real estate (vehicles, bank indicators, business interests), contact U.S. Asset Records. See our complete judgment collection workflow.
You Are Going Through a Divorce
Order Title Search by Name ($75 each) on both spouses from U.S. Title Records. Search under legal names, maiden names, and any entity names. All searches are anonymous and confidential. For assets beyond real estate, contact U.S. Asset Records for vehicles, business interests, and financial indicators. See our complete divorce property search workflow.
You Are Settling an Estate
Order a nationwide Title Search by Name ($535) on the deceased from U.S. Title Records. This finds properties the family may not know about. Follow up with Lien Reports ($95 each) to identify debts the estate must satisfy. For vehicles, business interests, and other assets, contact U.S. Asset Records. See our complete probate title search workflow.
You Are Evaluating Whether to File a Lawsuit
Before investing in litigation, determine if the prospective defendant has assets worth pursuing. A Title Search by Name ($75) reveals whether they own real property. A Background Report ($95) reveals existing judgment liens, tax liens, and bankruptcy filings. If both come back empty, the judgment may be uncollectible regardless of the legal merits. At $170 total, this pre-litigation screening saves thousands in wasted litigation costs.
You Need to Verify a Business Partner or Counterparty
Before entering into a partnership, acquisition, or lending relationship, verify the other party's financial standing. U.S. Title Records property searches confirm real estate holdings and equity position. U.S. Asset Records adds business entity research, UCC filings (showing existing secured creditors), court records (showing pending litigation), and bankruptcy history.
Judgment collection: Start with $75 name search (USTR), add full investigation (USAR) for non-real-estate assets. Divorce: $75 per spouse (USTR) for property, USAR for vehicles and business interests. Estate settlement: $535 nationwide (USTR), USAR for complete inventory. Pre-litigation: $75 name search + $95 background (USTR) prevents uncollectible lawsuits. Due diligence: USTR property + USAR entity and court records. Start with USTR every time.

What to Do After You Receive Your Reports
After Receiving Property Search Results (from U.S. Title Records)
Review each property found. For the properties with the most value, order follow-up Lien Reports ($95 each) to check encumbrances and estimate equity.

Share the property data with your attorney or client to inform the next legal or business step.
After Receiving the Full Asset Investigation (from U.S. Asset Records)
Review the full financial profile: real estate, vehicles, business interests, UCC filings, court records, and any flagged issues. Cross-reference with the USTR property reports for detailed lien and ownership data on the most valuable properties. Compile the combined findings into a case file, collection roadmap, or settlement package as needed for your proceeding.
If You Need Deeper Property Data
The USAR asset investigation provides a broad overview of property holdings. For detailed lien amounts, deed copies, grantor/grantee indexes, and recording references needed for court filings or sheriff instructions, order the specific USTR report: Lien Report ($95) for encumbrances, Chain of Title ($275) for ownership history, or Deed Copy ($45) for specific deed documents.
