HRS §501-134

Recording Claims Based on Implied or Constructive Trusts

If you believe you have an interest in registered land because of an implied or constructive trust, you must file a statement about it with the assistant registrar. The statement must describe the land and reference the certificate of title. Your claim won't affect a good-faith buyer who purchases before you file.
