Hawaii Asset Search, FAQ
Can I search all 50 states for assets in one place?
Not fully. For unclaimed property, NAUPA (unclaimed.org) aggregates most states. For businesses, each Secretary of State runs its own index. For federal bankruptcy, PACER is the single federal source.
Are asset searches public records?
Most are: property deeds, business filings, UCC liens, professional licenses, and unclaimed-property balances are public by statute. Bank account balances, brokerage holdings, and private debt are not.
What is a UCC-1 financing statement?
A Uniform Commercial Code filing that a secured creditor records against a debtor's personal property. State UCC registries (usually at the Secretary of State) make these searchable.
How current is unclaimed-property data?
States typically update their databases quarterly or monthly. Holders (banks, insurers, employers) must report dormant funds annually under each state's escheatment law.
