HRS §526-15

Recording a disclaimer of property interest

If a property transfer document must be filed or recorded, you can also file or record the disclaimer. Not recording it doesn't make the disclaimer invalid between the person giving it up and the people who get the property.

The statute, as written — Recording of disclaimer

If an instrument transferring an interest in or power over property subject to a disclaimer is required or permitted by law to be filed, recorded, or registered, the disclaimer may be filed, recorded, or registered. Except as otherwise provided in section 526-12(g), failure to file or record the disclaimer does not affect its validity as between the disclaimant and persons to whom the property interest or power passes by reason of the disclaimer.
