Tracing
There is often a need to combine the same methods we apply to ‘people finding’ in order to trace assets. After all, an asset simply does not grow legs and walk away, humans are invariably involved at some stage within the process either physically or electronically.
Some of the sources we use for ‘people finding’ are:
Birth, death and marriage records for England & Wales
BT database
Companies House
DVLA database
Experian database
Electoral roll
Insolvency Register
Land Registry
Registry Trust (Register of County Court Judgments)
Social media
Here are just a few of the types of trace you may require:
Debtor tracing
Tenant tracing
Beneficiaries tracing
Tracing need not be limited to an individual, it could also be implemented for tracing ‘missing’ assets e.g. missing equipment, money or livestock
