HRS §501-136
Filing liens and attachments on registered land
When a document must be filed to create or keep a lien on unregistered land, filing it on registered land requires extra steps. You must file it with the land court registrar and include the certificate of title number and a clear description of the affected land. This rule does not apply to certain tax liens.
