HRS §490:7-507
Warranties when you transfer a document of title
When someone sells or transfers a document of title for value, they make certain promises to the buyer. These promises cover the document's authenticity, the transferor's knowledge of problems, and the legality of the transfer. The promises only apply to the immediate buyer, not others.
