Statutory Frameworks and Legal Requirements for Asset Searches
In Kenya, conducting an asset search is governed by a robust legal framework designed to protect privacy while enabling legitimate investigative pursuits. The Civil Procedure Rules (CPR), particularly Order XXXVIII, outlines procedures for attachment before judgment, often requiring a thorough understanding of a debtor's asset base. Furthermore, the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act (2016) provides powers for tracing and recovering assets suspected of being proceeds of crime. For matters involving inheritance or probate, the Law of Succession Act might necessitate tracing assets that form part of an estate. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd operates strictly within these legal boundaries, ensuring all our investigations are lawful and ethically conducted. We understand the nuances of obtaining necessary court orders or waivers where applicable, and collaborate closely with legal counsel to ensure compliance with regulations concerning data privacy and the acquisition of information from various governmental and financial institutions. Our expertise lies in navigating these complexities to achieve results.
The Process of Conducting a Comprehensive Asset Search
Our approach to asset search legal services is systematic and multi-faceted. It begins with an in-depth consultation to understand the client's objectives and the specific legal context of their case. Following this, our investigators initiate a series of inquiries, which can include public record searches (such as land registries, company registries under the Companies Act, 2015), and discreet inquiries within financial institutions (subject to legal permissions). We also conduct skip tracing to locate individuals or entities, and can extend our searches to include movable assets like vehicles and other personal property. Understanding the importance of thoroughness, we cross-reference information from multiple sources to verify findings and build a complete picture of an individual's or company's asset portfolio. This rigorous process ensures that we identify all discoverable assets, providing our clients with a clear and reliable foundation for their legal strategies.
Cost Estimation and Value Proposition for Asset Searches
The cost of an asset search can vary significantly depending on the complexity and scope of the investigation required. At Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd, we provide transparent asset search cost estimates tailored to each unique case. Our fee structure is designed to reflect the resources and expertise deployed, ensuring you receive maximum value for your investment. Typically, a preliminary search might range from KES 25,000 to KES 50,000, encompassing public records and initial database checks.

We believe in providing detailed breakdowns of expected expenses and the investigative steps involved.
