Brazil/Finding a person

Question
Hi,

I am trying to find a person in Brazil. He owns a house in Portugal that I would like to buy. Could you please help me try to locate him or have any tips on how I can proceed on my own? His name is Jorge Manuel Carrilha Jesus Padinha.

Thank you
Bitte


Answer
No. I cannot help you find a person. Sorry. If he lives in Portugal and owns a home, you have to find out:

Where he owns the home.
Go to town records in place where he owns home and find out other details on him, such as publicly registered telephone numbers.

Understand that I cannot provide private investigation services of any kind to you, as I do not know you, nor know your interests in contacting this man, other than what you tell me. For the safety of the people involved, I am not allowed to track down people and provide any information of their whereabouts, even if that information is publicly available. If it is publicly available, the clues I gave you above will lead you to him.
