All types of assets can be frozen including overseas assets, for example:
Bank accounts
Property
Cars
Shares and investments
Valuable items such as jewellery and artwork
Freezing Orders can even cover assets that do not ‘exist’ yet, such as imminent compensation for a personal injury.
Typically, the court will freeze specific assets of a certain known value, such as a bank account balance. However, Freezing Orders can stretch to cover all assets owned or controlled by your spouse or civil partner.
