HRS §667-103

When recording a sale does not clear the owner's debt

Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗

Recording a sale document and affidavit does not automatically erase what the unit owner owes the association. The debt is only fully paid if the sale money or special assessment payments cover the entire debt, including legal fees. Other creditors' claims stay the same unless this part says otherwise.

Except as provided in section 667-92(f)(2), the recordation of both the conveyance document and the affidavit shall not operate as full satisfaction of the debt owed by the unit owner to the association unless the sale proceeds from the unit or the amounts paid by a purchaser under the special assessment permitted by section 421J-10.5 or 514B-146 are sufficient to satisfy the unit owner's debt to the association, including the association's legal fees and costs. The debts of other lien creditors are unaffected except as provided in this part.
