When a dispute, a divorce or a defaulting counterparty puts family wealth at risk, the question is what the other side actually holds — and where it is. We locate and document assets discreetly, with the principal's identity protected throughout.
Family offices operate in a world where disputes are rarely straightforward and discretion is not optional. Whether the concern is a spouse's hidden assets in financial-remedy proceedings, a contested inheritance involving complex structures, or a counterparty who has defaulted and now claims to have nothing, the common thread is that the true picture has been deliberately obscured. Umbragarde's asset tracing work for family offices is built for exactly this environment: thorough, sourced, and conducted in a way that protects the family throughout.
We take a confidential brief — directly or through legal counsel — and scope the investigation precisely. Work proceeds through open sources, company registries, property records and lawful corporate intelligence. Every material finding is corroborated before it is included in the output. What you receive is a clear, sourced map of the asset picture: readable by counsel, usable in proceedings, and delivered through a private channel. We never disclose a client or a matter.
We work through a single confidential point of contact — typically legal counsel or the family office itself — and never disclose who instructed us or why. All communications are conducted through private, access-controlled channels. The principal's involvement remains entirely undisclosed throughout.
Yes. Wealth that has been moved across jurisdictions or layered through corporate structures, trusts and nominees is where our methodology is most needed. We follow the value through public records, company filings and lawful open sources, and map it into a clear, sourced picture that can support legal proceedings or a private negotiation.
One confidential message is enough. Tell us the matter — we scope it with you.
