HRS §501-155
Recording court judgments that affect registered land
A court decision about who owns or has rights to registered land can be recorded, whether the case was about legal or equitable claims. Any document the court orders to be signed to carry out the judgment must be recorded and will legally bind the land. A judgment that acts like a deed also gets recorded with the same effect.

The statute, as written — Judgment directing conveyance
Any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, whether a federal court or a court of the State of Hawaii, affecting title or rights in registered land, may be recorded, whether the claim adjudicated was legal or equitable in nature. Every instrument necessary to give effect to the judgment and directed by the court to be executed, whether executed by a party or by some other person appointed by the court, shall be recorded and shall have full force and effect to bind the land to be affected thereby. A judgment entered in lieu of directing a conveyance, and having the effect of a conveyance, shall be recorded with like force and effect.
