Asset Enquiries • Investigative Verification
Understanding the Service
Developing Reliable Information About Relevant Assets.
Asset tracking is an investigative process used to develop and verify information concerning assets connected to a legitimate matter. Depending on the circumstances, the work may involve identifying possible assets, examining ownership or control information, developing location leads, and distinguishing verified findings from unconfirmed information. Asset investigation does not itself determine legal ownership, entitlement, recoverability or enforcement rights.
02 / VERIFICATION
Testing Ownership, Control and Location Leads
Where appropriate, information is cross-checked to distinguish historical, possible and verified findings and to avoid overstating what the investigation actually establishes.
Asset-Tracking Capabilities
Investigative Enquiries Focused on Relevant Asset Information.
The appropriate scope depends on the type of asset, the legitimate purpose of the enquiry, the identifying information available and the sources or investigative methods that can lawfully be used.
01
Asset Identification
Enquiries designed to develop information about assets potentially relevant to the authorised matter.
02
Ownership & Control Enquiries
Appropriate investigation of information that may assist in understanding who appears to own, control or be connected to an identified asset.
03
Vehicle & Movable-Asset Enquiries
Investigative work concerning relevant vehicles or other identifiable movable assets where sufficient information and a legitimate purpose exist.
04
Property-Related Enquiries

08

09
Asset Investigation Reporting

When Asset Tracking Is Used
Matters Requiring Independent Asset Enquiries.
A legal matter requires information about relevant assets.
Attorneys or authorised clients may require investigative assistance in developing asset information connected to a dispute or proceeding.
An identified asset needs to be located.
Existing information may establish that an asset exists without reliably showing its current whereabouts.
Ownership or control information requires clarification.
Available records or representations may require additional investigation before they can be relied upon.
A business requires asset-related due diligence.
Commercial decisions or investigations may require additional information concerning assets connected to a person or entity.
An insurance investigation involves relevant property or assets.
Asset enquiries may support an authorised claim investigation where ownership, existence, location or related circumstances require verification.
A broader investigation reveals asset-related leads.
Asset tracking may become one component of a private, corporate or legal investigation when relevant information emerges.
Our Asset-Tracking Process
From Known Information to Verified Asset Findings.
01

02
Information Review

03
Asset Enquiries
Appropriate research and investigative enquiries are conducted to develop relevant asset, ownership, control or location information.
04
Cross-Check & Verification
Developed information is compared and, where appropriate, further enquiries are undertaken to assess reliability and currency.

Preparing an Asset Enquiry
Information That Helps Us Define the Search.
Accurate identifiers and a clear explanation of the matter help focus the investigation and reduce the risk of associating an asset with the wrong person or entity.
Useful Initial Information
- The legitimate purpose of the asset enquiry.
- Full names and identifying details of relevant persons or entities.
- Known asset descriptions, registration details or other identifiers.
- Known addresses, locations or business connections.
- Existing documents or records relevant to the asset.
- Known ownership or control information requiring verification.
- Important dates or deadlines affecting the investigation.
Distinguish Investigation From Enforcement
Locating or identifying an asset does not by itself establish a client's legal right to seize, recover, restrain, transfer or otherwise deal with it. Appropriate legal advice and lawful authority may be required for any enforcement action.
What You May Receive
Asset Findings With Clear Evidential Limits.
Asset Investigation Report
A structured account of the enquiries conducted and relevant findings developed during the assignment.
Asset & Location Information
Relevant information concerning identified assets and, where established, current or recent location leads.
Ownership or Connection Findings
Relevant information developed concerning apparent ownership, control or connections, subject to the limitations of the available sources.
Supporting Material & Limitations
Appropriate supporting information and material limitations are identified so unverified leads are not presented as established facts.
Legal & Professional Boundaries
Finding an Asset Is Not the Same as a Right to It.
Six Paths provides investigative fact-finding. Asset information does not by itself establish legal ownership, beneficial entitlement, liability, recoverability or a right to seize or interfere with property.
Asset-tracking assignments must have a legitimate purpose and use lawful investigative methods. Six Paths will not undertake requests intended to facilitate theft, harassment, unlawful interference with property or evasion of legal safeguards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before Requesting Asset Tracking.
Asset tracking is investigative work aimed at developing and verifying information concerning relevant assets, their apparent connections or their location for a legitimate purpose.
No. Results depend on the information available, the type of asset and what can reasonably and lawfully be established.
We can investigate relevant ownership or connection information, but final legal ownership or beneficial entitlement may require legal interpretation or formal records beyond the investigator's role.
Yes, appropriately scoped asset enquiries can support legitimate legal investigations and disputes where asset information is relevant.
Relevant vehicle, movable-asset and property-related enquiries may be considered where sufficient information and a legitimate investigative purpose exist.
Asset location does not itself create authority to seize or interfere with property. Any recovery or enforcement action must have the necessary lawful basis and is separate from investigative fact-finding.
Timing varies with the scope, asset type, quality of identifiers, complexity of the connections being examined and whether additional verification is required.
Provide the legitimate purpose, names of relevant persons or entities, known asset details, addresses, identifiers, documents and any information already connecting the asset to the matter.
