SIT-05 / Asset tracing

Assets registered to connected persons

The opposing party in a dispute or a debtor formally has "nothing": property is registered to spouses, relatives, employees or specially created companies.

01

Indicators requiring investigation

  • assets sold or gifted shortly before the dispute
  • one person uses the property while another owns it
  • new companies created for persons without independent income
  • chains of transactions have no economic rationale
02

What is usually unknown

  • which assets are controlled in fact
  • who in the surrounding circle acts as holder of the property
  • when and how the re-registrations took place
  • which transactions can be legally challenged
03

What may be established

  • property of connected persons in available registers
  • chronology of transfers with dates and grounds
  • indications of actual use and control
  • economic irrationality of transactions - as material for lawyers
  • a map of "person - holder - asset" with a level of confirmation
04

Which methods are permitted

  • property, corporate and pledge registers
  • court records and enforcement proceedings
  • open sources and public traces of use
  • comparison of transaction dates with the timeline of the dispute
05

What limitations apply

  • the circle of connected persons checked is limited to the lawful purpose
  • actual control without documents is stated as a conclusion, not a fact
  • challenging transactions is a decision for lawyers based on the facts gathered

Frequently asked questions

Can relatives be checked?

Only within the limits of a lawful purpose and to the extent permissible for the specific task and jurisdiction. Irrelevant information is not collected.

What if the assets are abroad?

The engagement expands to the available jurisdictions; sources and limitations are assessed separately for each country.
