HRS §806-35
How to name owners in a criminal charge
This section says that when a criminal charge must state who owns property, and more than one person owns or has it, the charge only needs to name one owner and say the property belongs to that person and others. This also applies to business partners, joint owners, and trustees.

The statute, as written — Property owned by more than one
In any indictment wherein it is requisite to state the ownership of any property whatsoever, whether real or personal, which belongs to or is in the possession of more than one person, whether the persons be partners in trade, joint tenants, parceners, or tenants in common, it shall be sufficient to name one of the persons and to state the property to belong to the person so named, and another or others, as the case may be. Whenever in any indictment it is necessary to mention for any purpose whatsoever any partners, joint tenants, parceners, or tenants in common, it shall be sufficient to describe them in the manner aforesaid. This provision shall be construed to extend to all joint stock companies and trustees.
