Analysis: Net Equity
The Net Equity provides the basis by which we recommend or do not recommend seizure of the property to the potential custodian. The eventual disposition of the property should yield the following to recommend for seizure:
20% of the apprised value, or
$30,000
No property with a net equity of $30,000 should be targeted for seizure. If the custodian wishes to seize the property below the Net Equity guidelines, the following should be adhered by the USAO:
AFMLS and AFMS must be notified; and
approval from a supervisory-level official at the USAO must be obtained in writing and an explanation of the reason must be noted in the case file [Asset Forfeiture Policy Manual(2016), Chap.13, Sec.I.B2]
