Hawaii is the only state in the nation with a dual system of recordation. Land Court recordation applies to some but not all real estate transactions. Properties recorded in Land Court undergo additional scrutiny and Court oversight. The system pre-dates the issuance of title insurance policies which first began in Hawaii in 1957. While some owners still love Land Court because it virtually eliminates title problems, others including attorneys, REALTORS® and title
companies find it frustrating and time consuming. Case in point, (especially when the market is over-heated), LandCourtdocumentsareapproved for recordation but certified years later.Whenerrorsarefoundduringthe confirmationprocess,interimsalesand mortgages can be put in jeopardy. If errors can not be corrected,earliertransactionsmightbeautomatically invalidated. Not good. Title companies normally havepartiestothetransactiontogivepriorpermission to correct administrative errors. Every land court
document requires personal review. Watch this, if a 100 unit time share sold 52 increments per unit, 5200 transfer reviews would be generated for a land court recorded project. Every vacant land and residential sale in HPP, most of Puna and any parcel previously conveyed by WH Shipman would be a land court sale. It’s easy to see that the numbers might be staggering. Backlogs are constant. Many argue that the land court system is passé. A few years back, our legislature tookasignificantsteptowardcorrectingthelandcourt backlog by moving time share transactions to the regular sysstem. About the same time, the legislature passed intolawarequirementthathomeownersdisclosethe amount of the last 3 electric bills. Despite the fact, thathomeowners(inmyexperience)neverrefusedto providethisinformation,weapparentlyneededalaw to cover this eventuality. Each year, the legislature pilesonchangesorcreatesnewlawsthataffectour real property rights. In my mind, the bundle of rights apropertyownerenjoysisamongmostfundamental rights of our nation. Any limitation on such basic
rights should undergo extreme scrutiny. For instance, a landowner (in my opinion) should never be forced to accept an after-the-fact restriction on use and yet as our lands continue to be developed, it happens constantly. Each year, more restrictions surface. And it’s not just the legislature creating restrictions. The county council, lenders, insurance agencies and appraisers all have their hand in the restriction pie. Keeping up with it all isn’t easy! One very recent and significant change to appraisalrulesstatesthatifalowerlevelisunder7ft, it cannot be given value as living area. There’s more to it but Hello!!
