When the Government Seizes Property Without Just Cause

The IRS utilizes considerable resources in order to seek out assets alleged to be either the fruit of illegal activities, or otherwise used in the course of such acts. Task forces combine the efforts of international, federal and local authorities to locate and seize assets subject to forfeiture due to these alleged connections to crime. Homes, investments, cash, automobiles, computers and other possessions are wrongfully taken by the government through this process.

Types of Federal Asset Forfeiture

Forfeiture may proceed in several ways:

  • Administrative forfeiture: Administrative forfeiture permits the federal government to seize property without judicial involvement.
  • Civil forfeiture: Also called civil judicial forfeiture, this is an action brought against the property itself. No criminal charge is listed against the individual, and the property is listed as the defendant.
  • Criminal forfeiture: Criminal forfeiture is an action brought as part of a criminal prosecution.
