Alberto Miranda

According to Dr. Alberto Miranda, a Peru-qualified attorney (Lima Bar, CAL No. 39450) specializing in private international law, an asset search in Peru is not simply a database lookup: it is a legal due diligence process that requires correct identification, reliable registry sources, careful interpretation, and qualified conclusions. Peru Asset Search and Legal Due Diligence is a practical guide for foreign lawyers, international law firms, investors, heirs, spouses, creditors, and clients who need to identify and assess assets, registered interests, and public-record information in Peru.
The book explains how to approach Peruvian asset searches through SUNARP and other lawful sources, while distinguishing registered ownership from actual wealth, control, representation, possession, and economic benefit. It also examines the evidentiary limits of negative findings and explains why "no record found" does not necessarily mean that no asset exists. Readers will learn how to evaluate:.
Real estate ownership and registry history in Peru. Mortgages, liens, attachments, and judicial annotations. Vehicles and movable assets. Companies, corporate interests, directors, managers, and powers of attorney. The Registro Personal and matrimonial-property information. SIGM and legacy movable-security records. Mining concessions, trademarks, patents, and other specialized registrable interests.
Asset searches in international divorce and inheritance matters. Judgment enforcement and transaction due diligence. Privacy, lawful access, evidentiary limits, and defensible reporting. How foreign counsel can instruct Peruvian counsel and use registry evidence in cross-border proceedingsThe book also provides a professional methodology for preparing a defensible Peru asset search report, including scope of instructions, subject identification, sources reviewed, search dates, documentary support, limitations, qualified conclusions, and recommendations for further legal action.
Written for an international audience, the guide emphasizes a core principle throughout: a professional asset search should report what the available evidence establishes - and never claim more than the evidence can support.
