HRS §501-83.5
Outstanding owner's duplicate certificates
This section stops the land court from issuing owner's duplicate title certificates after June 14, 1988. If a duplicate was already issued and is still out there, it is treated as given up, so the assistant registrar can file deeds without asking for it.
