Asset Types: Understanding Fixed and Liquid Tangible Assets

An asset is an economic resource. Anything tangible or intangible that is capable of being owned or controlled to produce value and that is held to have positive economic value is considered an asset. As such, an asset search investigation is relatively easy to conduct, as the majority of Tangible Assets (fixed) and are documented in public records. Tangible Assets (liquid) are not a matter of public record and require a permissible purpose to conduct a search.

Tangible Assets: (fixed) real estate, buildings, homes, equipment and machinery, tools, equity in a property, capital assets, gold, and minerals after extraction. 

Tangible Assets: (liquid) current assets and other assets that can be converted to cash, such as liquid assets, bank accounts, money market fund shares, bonds, mutual funds, and the cash value of a life insurance policy. Any asset that can be converted into cash within 24 hours.

TANGIBLE ASSETS LIQUID

Tangible Assets: (liquid) Assets that can be converted to cash, such as liquid assets, bank accounts, money market fund shares, bonds, mutual funds, and the cash value of a life insurance policy.

TANGIBLE ASSETS FIXED

Physical property that cannot be quickly converted to cash. This includes real estate, buildings, vehicles, equipment, machinery, and extracted minerals like gold.

WHAT IS A PERMISSIBLE PURPOSE? HOW DOES IT APPLY TO BANK AND FINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS?

A SUMMARIZATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS FOR ASSET SEARCHES

The legal framework governing access to nonpublic financial information operates through multiple federal statutes, establishing specific requirements for different scenarios. 

This summary does not discuss every scenario or anticipated use or subsequent authorization. It is intended to illuminate a convoluted and misinterpreted legal framework while providing general guidance on core principles and common applications. The information contained herein should not be construed as legal advice, and readers should consult with qualified legal counsel regarding their specific circumstances. While efforts have been made to ensure accuracy, laws and regulations are subject to change, and variations may exist across different jurisdictions. Nothing in this document creates an attorney-client relationship or serves as a substitute for professional legal consultation.

The legal framework governing access to nonpublic financial information operates through multiple federal statutes, establishing specific requirements for different scenarios. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) serves as a primary foundation, mandating consumer authorization for credit report access while explicitly prohibiting its use for determining insurance, credit, or employment eligibility. FCRA Section 6802(e)(8) provides essential exceptions, permitting disclosures when necessary to comply with federal, state, or local laws, respond to authorized civil or criminal investigations, address regulatory requirements, or fulfill judicial process obligations.

When accessing bank or brokerage records, requestors must demonstrate a valid permissible purpose and comply with court orders or civil judgments, while remaining subject to the Right to Financial Privacy Act restrictions specifically governing government access. Financial institutions bear the responsibility of verifying the requestor’s authority before disclosure. This comprehensive framework, incorporating 28 U.S.C. Chapter 176 Fair Debt Collection Procedures and 15 U.S.C. Title 15 Privacy Provisions, explicitly establishes that exceptions (6)(A), (7), and (8) and (D) grant access to persons holding a legal or beneficial interest relating to the consumer; or (E) to persons acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity on behalf of the consumer; but require demonstration of a valid permissible purpose for both pre-civil and post-civil proceedings. Pre-civil proceedings are specifically defined as subpoenas, search warrants, or other Judicial Orders. Post-civil proceedings are defined as Judicial Orders or Judgments, which constitute the judge’s rulings at the conclusion of an adversary proceeding requiring the debtor to pay the amount awarded in the Judgement or Judicial Order resulting from the proceedings. All financial information access must align with these federal statutes while simultaneously complying with applicable state privacy laws and institution-specific requirements, ensuring a balanced approach between necessary information access and privacy protection.
