Description

Boundary line disputes involving real estate are common. They generally arise as a result of some or all of the following four factors: (1) Formerly unsurveyed property owned by amicable neighbors passes into the hands of an outsider who orders a survey and discovers the boundary lines are in a different place than previously thought; (2) Formerly amicable neighbors who did not care about a 10- or 20- foot discrepancy in boundary lines suddenly care when oil or gas is discovered under the land, or the property becomes so valuable that it is being sold by the square foot rather than by the acre; (3) Advances in surveying technology would have placed a property corner in a different location than the original survey or placed it, and when this is discovered, the neighbors go to court; or (4) Someone mistakenly builds a house or other improvement with a portion located on the neighbor's land and the parties resort to the court system to resolve their differences. Consequently, there are very specific rules for resolving boundary line disputes: (1) Advances in technology make no difference because the property corners are where the original surveyor placed them according to his or her own state-of-the-art technology for the time, not the absolutely accurate location according to today's technology; (2) If there are mistakes in the description, courts follow a hierarchy of things to consider and things to ignore if there is a conflict among descriptions within a deed; and (3) If someone innocently builds an improvement that encroaches on another's land, most courts will figure out a way to either give the property to the encroacher or will order the person to sell a minimal amount of land to the encroacher.

A Hawaii Debt Adjustment Agreement with a Creditor is a legal arrangement that allows a debtor in Hawaii to restructure their existing debts with one or multiple creditors. Also known as a debt settlement or debt negotiation agreement, it aims to provide a feasible repayment plan for the debtor while offering some relief to the creditor. In this agreement, the debtor and creditor negotiate and mutually agree upon new terms for the outstanding debt. The main goal is to create a manageable payment plan that the debtor can afford while ensuring that the creditor receives a portion of the owed amount. There are different types of Hawaii Debt Adjustment Agreements with Creditors that can be pursued based on the financial circumstances of the debtor: 1. Debt Settlement Agreement: This type of agreement involves negotiating with a creditor to accept a reduced amount as full payment for the debt. The debtor typically offers a lump sum or a structured payment plan to settle the debt, and the creditor agrees to forgive the remaining balance. 2. Debt Consolidation Agreement: This agreement involves consolidating multiple debts into a single payment to simplify the repayment process. The debtor takes out a new loan or enrolls in a debt consolidation program to pay off the existing debts in full, leaving them with a single monthly payment. 3. Repayment Plan Agreement: This type of agreement focuses on restructuring the existing debt by negotiating new terms with the creditor. The debtor and creditor work together to establish an affordable repayment plan that extends the duration of the loan or reduces the interest rate, making it easier for the debtor to meet the payment obligations. 4. Informal Agreement: Although not a formal legal arrangement, an informal agreement may be sought between the debtor and creditor outside the courtroom. It involves negotiating with the creditor directly to modify the terms of the debt, such as lower interest rates, extended repayment periods, or reduced monthly payments. Regardless of the type of agreement pursued, it is essential for debtors to understand their rights and obligations under Hawaii state laws and consult with a qualified attorney or credit counselor before entering into any debt adjustment agreement with a creditor.
