What evidence do I need to begin tracing assets hidden by an opposing party?

Asset tracing can commence with limited initial evidence — courts recognise that claimants rarely have complete information at the outset. A credible basis showing asset dissipation or concealment is sufficient to obtain disclosure orders compelling banks and corporate registries to provide information. Useful starting points include historic financial statements, transaction records, property registry searches, and corporate filings showing ownership structures. In the UK, Norwich Pharmacal orders can compel third parties to disclose information. Initial tracing investigations typically yield actionable intelligence within 4–8 weeks, allowing follow-on freezing applications.
