Money in stocks that are listed in his name should be on tax returns. What you want to know is if you can find out if he has any hidden assets - like those listed in the name of another? You can ask for any loan applications that he may have made. He would probably disclose all assets to increase his odds of getting the loan. You could also have some one analyze the deposits and with drawls in bank accounts to trace assets. I would speak with an attorney on the matter. This is difficult to do. Good luck.
