HRS §501-172

Court can still license guardians to sell or mortgage registered land

This section says that the rules for registered land do not stop a circuit court from letting a guardian sell, mortgage, or transfer that land, just like it can for unregistered land. A buyer or lender who gets a deed from such a sale can get a new title certificate by showing the deed to the assistant registrar.

The statute, as written — License to sell or mortgage, not affected

Nothing in this chapter shall in any way affect or impair the jurisdiction of a circuit court to license a guardian to sell, mortgage, or convey registered land for any purpose for which a license may be granted in the case of unregistered land. The purchaser or mortgagee taking a deed executed in pursuance of a license is entitled to a new certificate of title, or memorandum of registration, on presenting the purchaser's or mortgagee's deed to the assistant registrar.
