A Hawaii Release of Lien for Deed of Trust refers to a legal document that is executed to release a lien placed on a property's title, resulting from a previously recorded deed of trust. It serves as evidence that the lien on the property has been fully paid off and satisfied, clearing the title from any encumbrances. The release of lien for a deed of trust is typically filed with the Hawaii Bureau of Conveyances or County Recorder's Office, ensuring that the public record accurately reflects the property's ownership status and that the lien holder's rights have been waived. In Hawaii, there are several types of releases of lien for a deed of trust, depending on the specific situation: 1. Full Release of Lien: This type of release is issued when the entire debt secured by the deed of trust has been fully paid off by the borrower. It effectively eliminates the lien, allowing the property owner to regain full control over the property's title. 2. Partial Release of Lien: In some cases, borrowers may be able to negotiate a partial release of lien. This means that a portion of the loan has been repaid, resulting in the removal of the lien on a specific portion or parcel of the property. The remaining portion of the property may still be subject to a lien if the debt is yet to be fully satisfied. 3. Release of Lien Upon Sale: When a property is sold or transferred to a new owner, a release of lien for deed of trust is often executed to demonstrate that the lien holder's claim on the property has been released. This ensures that the new owner takes possession of a clear title, free from any encumbrances. It is crucial to execute a release of lien for a deed of trust accurately and promptly to protect the property owner's rights and prevent any unnecessary complications in the future. Seeking legal advice or guidance from a real estate attorney or a qualified professional is recommended to ensure compliance with Hawaii's specific laws and regulations regarding the release of liens on deeds of trust.
