The UK has Unexplained Wealth Orders, which can be used if a person cannot explain where they got the funds to purchase property. It's been in the news a few times but I'm not sure how effective it is:
Quote:
3)An unexplained wealth order is an order requiring the respondent to provide a statement—
(a)setting out the nature and extent of the respondent’s interest in the property in respect of which the order is made,
(b)explaining how the respondent obtained the property (including, in particular, how any costs incurred in obtaining it were met),
(c)where the property is held by the trustees of a settlement, setting out such details of the settlement as may be specified in the order, and
(d)setting out such other information in connection with the property as may be so specified.
