Repeals the land court system and transitions all recorded documents to the regular system.
This bill repeals the land court system in Hawaii and transitions all recorded documents to the regular system. It prohibits new applications for registration of title in the land court starting January 1, 2025. All registered owners must initiate deregistration of their property by December 31, 2025. The land court system, a "Torrens" system, requires a "race" to record documents ahead of other claimants. The regular system, a "race-notice" system, does not determine priority or ownership of property interests.
