TruthFinder and BeenVerified are both paid services that make the process of checking out whether someone has some tangible assets in their name or not less cumbersome and messy. If, however, you’re searching for a free option to find out someone’s assets, you can do it manually by checking the publicly available records online. This would turn out hectic. But we’ll offer you some tips below.

How to find someone’s assets for free

An asset search is a procedure of searching for records that confirm personal assets or property owned by an individual.

To access a person’s real estate sales records, you can go to the county assessor’s office where the property is located. While for what someone drives, it’s kind of difficult to find it out if you don’t have a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or any other useful information. What you can give a try is to do a Google search on the person. If there are any posts mentioning them, you may gather some clues.

If the person owns a public business

If the person owns a public business, you can check their annual report, which is a document that public corporations must provide annually to shareholders. It is generally found in the area of the company’s website that contains information for shareholders. To access the report quickly, you can do a Google search. In the search box, type in the company’s name and the phrase annual report. For example, type in microsoft “annual report” and there will be a download page.

Note that this doesn’t reveal personal assets, but it can serve as a reference.

Is it possible to know someone’s bank account balance?

In most scenarios, NO. And it’s pretty complicated to access the information. As citizens’ financial records and bank account details are protected under the law. You won’t get access to them unless you have proper authorization.

If this search is time-consuming and fruitless, you may now want to use TruthFinder or BeenVerified to do the busy work for you.
