HRS §425-111
When property counts as partnership property
This section explains how to tell if property belongs to a partnership. Property is partnership property if it is bought in the partnership's name or in a partner's name showing they are a partner. If bought with partnership money, it is presumed to be partnership property. If bought in a partner's name without that, it is presumed to be separate property.
The statute, as written — When property is partnership property
(a) Property is partnership property if acquired in the name of: (1) The partnership; or (2) One or more partners with an indication in the instrument transferring title to the property of the person's capacity as a partner or of the existence of a partnership but without an indication of the name of the partnership. (b) Property is acquired in the name of the partnership by a transfer to: (1) The partnership in its name; or (2) One or more partners in their capacity as partners in the partnership, if the name of the partnership is indicated in the instrument transferring title to the property. (c) Property is presumed to be partnership property if purchased with partnership assets, even if not acquired in the name of the partnership or of one or more partners with an indication in the instrument transferring title to the property of the person's capacity as a partner or of the existence of a partnership. (d) Property acquired in the name of one or more of the partners, without an indication in the instrument transferring title to the property of the person's capacity as a partner or of the existence of a partnership and without use of partnership assets, is presumed to be separate property, even if used for partnership purposes.
