Lauth has been bringing verified, comprehensive intelligence to its clients for over 30 years. Because we’re always searching for new disciplines where we can apply our intelligence services, our catalogue of services has grown and expanded exponentially over the years. That is why our CEO and founder, Thomas Lauth began to move the company into asset recovery only a few short years ago.

 

The amount of unrecovered assets only continues to grow globally. To mitigate the total amount of growing assets, Lauth Investigations International formed the Return Assets Division—a specific division of the business dedicated to employing the most qualified professionals to help put unrecovered assets back in the hands of our claimants. Through a diligent chain of operations, our claim researchers confirm certification of ownership for families, corporations, heirs, and lawyers, and guide them through the process of staking claim to their unrecovered assets.

Testimonials

 

All four of us were adopted by our parents. Our mother was our only connection. When she passed away, we all went our separate ways. I then received a call from Lauth Investigations regarding some unclaimed funds in my mother’s name. After explaining that I had not spoken to, seen or even knew where my siblings were located or if they were even alive, I was told that my family history would be researched. I was filled with shock and awe that Lauth was able to find my siblings and that one of them lived close by! Thanks to the Lauth Team, I finally knew and was able to speak to my brothers for the first time in years. I will always be grateful to Lauth for reuniting me with my siblings. Paul D., Millers Falls, MA.

 

My siblings and I were separated since we were young, and I was adopted to another family while my siblings remain with our father. After 25 years, I got a phone call from LII and not only that LII located all my siblings for me, and they also located assets from insurance policy that left to us by our mother. We were able to reunite our long-lost family because of LII and Thank you so much for bringing us together again. Sharon B., Honolulu, HI

 

Our parents separated when my brother and I were 8 and 10 years old. We hadn’t seen our father since then. The team at Lauth Investigations were able to find our father and we were able to reconnect with him after 23 years! It has brought some long-needed closure to our family. Miguel Lopez, Indianapolis, IN

 

We just received our lost assets check, and I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you what a great job our claim researcher did in helping us claim it. He always answered my questions and concerns and returned my phone calls in a very timely manner. We are very pleased with our settlement. The money came at a very needed time and for this, my husband and I are very grateful. Dorothy and Dan M. – Venice, CA

Broaden the Scope of Private Investigation

 

Private investigation firms carry out more than surveillance and subject location. The same tools and know-how that go into complex skip tracing are a big part of asset location and helping you search for an heir. Just as the Lauth investigations team has zeroed-in on debtors, fact-witnesses, or persons of interest, we additionally specialize in uncovering monies, assets, and individuals that clients may have assumed were beyond their reach.

 

Leverage Exclusive Databases

 

Lauth’s state licensure allows us to dig through the same verified databases used by law enforcement and government agencies. Trained researchers have an eye for details that shed light, locate leads, point to new investigative avenues, and supply unforeseen methods for certifying heirship or ownership of an asset in question.

 

Carry Out Field Investigations 

 

Both private citizens and attorneys are often in need of in-person verification as to whether or not a particular large asset is housed or present in a certain location. Lauth deploys through surveillance and field operations to identify these items and provide comprehensive reporting on the status of these assets.

 

Utilize an Independent Third Party 

 

Professional asset investigations provide a crucial measure of validity to any asset search case. All legal pursuits come with built-in biases on the part of individuals with monetary claims. Because claimants possess clear financial motives, Lauth recognizes our role in upholding the integrity of their cases. We have no major stake in the results of an investigation. Our objectivity, therefore, helps parties provide ethical, impartial proof of ownership should the search outcome play out in their favor.
