Address Investigations | Person Searches by a Detective Agency

Family Reunification, Long-Lost Love, and the Search for Biological Parents

Afternoon and evening programmes, both on private and public broadcasters, regularly focus on locating missing relatives, friends, and former partners. The ongoing fascination with such shows demonstrates how deeply people care about cases of reunited family members and friends. The disappointment is all the greater—for both viewers and the person searching—when, for example, a father refuses to meet a daughter given up for adoption due to shame or guilt, meaning his address is not shared with her.

 

However, producers here follow only the legal requirements that are also fundamental to our work as corporate detectives in Münster: if the “found” person does not wish to be contacted, they generally have every right to protect their privacy and prevent contact. While private person searches can result in heartwarming reunions, the Kurtz Detective Agency Münster also handles searches for far less pleasant reasons: parental abduction, avoidance of maintenance payments, fraud cases, or simply debts as motives for “going underground.” In most cases, our private investigators are able to locate the person in question—also on your behalf: +49 251 7009 0014.

Legitimate Interest in Address Investigations: When can our Münster Detectives Investigate?

As mentioned above, our Münster private detectives cannot conduct searches for just anyone, as privacy must always be respected, and a careful weighing of interests is required. If the need to know the address is deemed a higher legal interest than the protection of privacy, a so-called legitimate interest in sharing the information exists. Each case must be considered individually. Tracking down an old school friend does not necessarily qualify as a legitimate interest. But in cases of concrete legal claims—e.g., if someone owes you money and then moves without leaving contact information—legality is ensured. The Kurtz Corporate Detective Agency Münster will advise you if you are unsure whether a legitimate interest exists in your case.

 

In some instances, our Münster detectives may be commissioned to conduct address searches even without a clearly defined legitimate interest—such as if it is likely that the sought person (perhaps a family member or former close friend) may also wish to be contacted. In such cases, the found person must be informed of the requester’s interest and give consent for the address to be shared. If the person does not allow it, the Kurtz Private Detective Agency Münster is legally bound by this refusal and may not provide the address, even if the search is successful. Nevertheless, since the work was carried out properly, the detective fees for the address investigation are fully chargeable—even in this rare scenario.

Wide Range of Reasons for Engagement = Versatile Detective Services

While some inquiries to our IHK-certified detectives are personal, involving friends, relatives, or childhood loves, the majority of our address investigations are commissioned due to debt evasion or crimes such as fraud in its various forms or property damage to rental property. The Kurtz Detective Agency operates nationwide, so our investigators can often conduct on-site verification immediately after locating an address. Our network of informants and skilled investigators abroad also allows for investigations and operations beyond Germany—often necessary in today’s globalized world, particularly in cases of child abduction or international relocation.

 

Regardless of the reason for engagement, our Münster private detectives always document their findings in writing in an investigative report, making all results legally admissible. The report may be brief if the search is quickly successful. However, for some legal proceedings, it is necessary to confirm by observation that the person actually resides at the located address. For this task as well, the Kurtz Detective Agency Münster is your competent contact.

Heir Searches and Preliminary Checks of Business Contacts by Münster Detectives

Address investigations may also be a partial service in broader research assignments. Many checks cannot be carried out without a reasonably current address, making address research often the starting point for further investigations. This can include, for example, a credibility check during contract negotiations with a little-known potential business partner. If they claim to live in Munich but are actually in Cologne—or not registered in Germany at all—this reveals much about their trustworthiness. Our Münster detectives are ready to verify such details before you sign contracts or purchase used vehicles or real estate. We check the person’s background, including personal data verification, criminal record checks, creditworthiness, and more.

 

We are also regularly engaged to locate heirs with their current residential and mailing addresses. In many families, contact has been lost; in other inheritance cases, the will contains no up-to-date contact information. Often, estate administrators or the remaining heirs rely on the support of our Münster detective agency.

Especially when the available information is somewhat outdated, most estate administrators understandably reach the limits of their abilities.
