Hidden Asset and Fraudulent Transfer Investigation
A debtor who suddenly owns nothing usually owned something recently. The question is where it went, when, and whether the transfer can be unwound.
- Transfers to spouses, relatives and insiders
- LLC, trust and shell entity formation timing
- Badges of fraud under the UVTA
- Transfer timing relative to suit and judgment
- Documentation organised for a clawback claim

The debtor who owns nothing, suddenly
There is a recognisable shape to it. A lawsuit is filed. Shortly afterwards a house is deeded to a spouse for ten dollars, an LLC appears holding the equipment, a trust is formed, and the business begins trading under a new name at the same address with the same customers.
By the time judgment is entered, the debtor appears to own nothing at all. What actually happened is that assets were moved, and the law has a specific answer for that.
Badges of fraud
Under the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act, courts look for indicators rather than a confession. Our report is organised around them because that is what a clawback motion has to establish.

What this can and cannot do
Strong indicators
- Deed to a spouse or relative for nominal consideration
- Entity formed within months of suit being filed
- Business trading as a new name at the same premises
- Debtor still living in or operating the transferred asset
- Transfer dated shortly after a demand letter
Where we will tell you to stop
- Transfers predating the debt by years, which are generally safe
- Genuine arm’s-length sales at market value
- Look-back period expired under state law
- Cost of the clawback action exceeding the asset’s value
Fraudulent transfer questions
Tracing a transfer starts with knowing the baseline. Our nationwide asset investigation and recovery research establishes what the debtor holds now and in whose name, which is what makes an unexplained transfer visible in the first place.
