Disagreements may arise over the validity of a will, the actions of a trustee or executor, or the interpretation of estate planning documents. Legal advice can help clarify your position and explore potential remedies.

Real estate disputes can disrupt your life and jeopardize your investment. In Hawai‘i, property conflicts can arise in many forms, from co-ownership disagreements and unclear title records to lease violations and boundary encroachments. These issues often surface during a sale, renovation, or when relationships between property owners change.

Common disputes include disagreements between co-owners over whether to sell a property, title defects that prevent transfers or refinancing, and lease conflicts involving nonpayment of rent or early termination. In other cases, a neighbor may build a fence or structure that crosses a property line, or someone may claim a right to use part of your land based on past use.

To resolve these matters, parties may need to file a partition action, quiet title lawsuit, or eviction proceeding. Each of these involves strict legal procedures and deadlines under Hawai‘i law. Acting without legal guidance can lead to unintended consequences, including the loss of rights or delays in resolving the issue.

Other real estate disputes may involve fraud in a property sale, disputes with a real estate agent or broker, or claims of misrepresentation in a disclosure statement. Disagreements over easements, access rights, or shared driveways can also lead to protracted legal battles if not addressed properly.
