Generally, the use of real estate agents, bank loans, title companies, and land court filings was not the preferred method of land transfer in the Hawaiian Kingdom.
A few examples of ownership changes in the Hilo and Puna area can be found at the link below. Here's one:
Umi and his army headed southeast to Puna and defeated the Puna chief Huaa at the battle of Kuolo near Keaau. Umi’s army then moved south and may have set up headquarters at Ahuaumi. From there he set to attack the amazing blind Kau warrior ruler named Imaikalani at the battle of Kapaliikua. Imaikalani could throw five spears with each hand*, and had the help of forty spear carriers and his two birds that guided him in battle, but he fell to the crafty general in Umi’s army named Piimaiwaa
