Frequently Asked Questions
Concierge-Level Answers for Hawaii Deed Preparation & Recording
We understand that Hawaii real property documentation can feel unfamiliar, especially when navigating trust transfers, Land Court requirements, or ownership changes. Our FAQ offers clear, thoughtful guidance to help you understand our process and what to expect.
For questions not covered here, we are always pleased to assist you directly.
What types of deeds do you prepare?
We prepare a full range of Hawaii deeds, including quitclaim deeds, warranty deeds, trust conveyances, family transfers, co-owner changes, name updates, and deeds requiring Dual System filing. Each document is drafted with precision and reviewed for accuracy by an independent Hawaii attorney.
I’m not sure which deed I need. Can you help me determine that?
Yes. Our team will review your circumstances, clarify your objectives, and help you understand which document is appropriate.
If your situation requires legal advice, we will encourage you to retain an attorney directly.
Do you work with out-of-state or international owners?
Yes. Many of our clients live on the mainland or abroad. Our process is fully digital, secure, and designed to be completed remotely with ease.
Do you handle Land Court deeds and filings?
Yes. We work extensively with Land Court (Torrens System) properties and also prepare documents for Regular System and Dual System recordings.
We also prepare and coordinate Land Court petitions and Certificate of Title amendments when needed.
What are the three property title systems in Hawaii?
Hawaii is unique in having three separate title systems, each with its own recording rules:
1. Land Court (Torrens System)
This is a certificate-based, highly regulated system that guarantees title to the owner.
Land Court documents require exact formatting and often additional steps such as notation updates or
Certificate of Title amendments. Many properties fall into this system.
2. Regular System
This system records documents in the public record for notice purposes.
It is the more common recording route statewide and generally follows standard deed and recording procedures.
3. Dual System
Some properties are recorded in both systems simultaneously.
In these cases, the document must be prepared and submitted to satisfy the requirements of both Land
Court and Regular System at the same time.
Aloha Deed LLC prepares deeds tailored specifically to the property’s system classification and ensures they meet the technical requirements for smooth recording with the Bureau of Conveyances.
Do you handle Hawaii timeshare deeds?
Yes. Aloha Deed LLC prepares and coordinates timeshare transfer deeds for all Hawaiian Islands. Timeshare documents are prepared with the same precision and discretion as all of our services.
How do Hawaii timeshare deeds work?
Most Hawaii timeshares are recorded as CPR (Condominium Property Regime) interval ownership, and they typically record in the Regular System. Some require Dual System formatting, depending on the project. Aloha Deed LLC prepares each document to meet the technical requirements of the applicable system and coordinates the full recording process.
Can you help if I live off-island?
Yes. Most timeshare owners reside on the mainland or internationally.
Our process is fully digital, secure, and guided — allowing you to complete your entire transfer remotely.
Do you notify the resort or management company?
We can provide the recorded deed and owner information to your timeshare management company upon request or as required by their policies.
Is the process the same as a regular deed?
The recording process is similar, but timeshare deeds require interval-specific details, CPR information, and alignment with project requirements. We prepare your deed accordingly and ensure it is reviewed for accuracy by an independent Hawaii attorney.
Do you provide legal advice regarding timeshares?
No. We are not a law firm and cannot advise on contract rights, management disputes, or rescission options. We prepare deeds based on your instructions and coordinate accuracy review and recording.
If you need legal advice, we encourage you to consult a licensed attorney.
What is the independent attorney accuracy review?
A Hawaii-licensed attorney reviews every deed solely for accuracy, completeness, formatting, and recording readiness.
This ensures the document complies with the requirements of the appropriate title system.
This review does not create an attorney-client relationship.
If legal advice is required, clients are encouraged to consult an attorney directly.
Do you provide legal advice?
No. Aloha Deed LLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
We prepare documents based on the information you provide and coordinate attorney accuracy review and recording.
If your matter involves legal interpretation, disputes, tax questions, or estate planning decisions, please consult a licensed attorney.
How long does the process take?
Most deeds are prepared within a few business days once all information is provided.
Recording timelines vary depending on the Bureau of Conveyances and the title system involved, but we track your filing and keep you updated throughout.
Do I need to notarize my deed?
Yes. All Hawaii deeds require notarized signatures.
We provide clear instructions for on-island, mainland, and international notarization.
Can you work with my trustee, attorney, realtor, or CPA?
Yes. We frequently coordinate with real estate professionals, trustees, estate planning attorneys, and tax advisors to ensure your documentation aligns with your overall objectives.
How do I submit my information securely?
All client communication and documents are transmitted through encrypted systems for privacy and security.
