HRS §502-14
Recording transfers of someone else's property and partition returns
When a document transfers another person's real estate by legal authority, the registrar must record both the person making the transfer and the owner whose property is transferred, if the owner's name is in the document. For a commissioner's partition return, the registrar must list all affected owners in the entry book and both indexes.

The statute, as written — Entries where one transfers another's real estate; in partition cases
When an instrument, by which one person by authority of law transfers or conveys the real estate of another person, is left for record, the registrar shall enter in the registrar's entry book and grantor index both the name of the person making the transfer and conveyance and that of the person whose estate has been so transferred or conveyed, if the latter name appears in the instrument. When a return of a commissioner appointed to make partition of real estate is left for record, the registrar shall enter in the entry book, and in both the grantor and grantee indexes, the names of all persons whose estates plainly appear to be affected by the return.
