Property seized for evidence can automatically be forfeited:This common error results in many missed opportunities for forfeiture. Each type of forfeitureset forth below contains strict time limits. Once missed, the Government is prohibited from commencing forfeiture under the time-barred provision.

All property owned by a criminal is subject to forfeiture: On the contrary, asset forfeiture is purely a creature of statute. While there are numerous federal laws providing for forfeiture, there are also some crimes that do not have a corresponding forfeiture statute. Other crimes have only limited forfeiture provisions.

By statute, judges are required to order both where applicable.
