HiloJulie - ”I am highly suspect to this as any lien being filed - and as stated for several years - would require actual legal service of that lien on the property owner in order for it to be recorded.”
You might want to check on that. Here’s what it says on the Bureau of Conveyances website:
Bureau of Conveyances’ Role with Liens
The Bureau of Conveyances has NO responsibility for creating or removing liens, it is the sole responsibility of the property owner and the lienor or filer of the lien.
Contact the filing entity directly for detailed information regarding the lien. (For example, contact the Internal Revenue Service and/or Hawaii Department of Taxation for unpaid tax liens.)
If your lien was satisfied or paid off and does not have a recorded “Release”, you must work with the lienor to get this “Release” document issued and recorded with the Bureau of Conveyances.
You can verify if a “Release” has been recorded by visiting our document search website.

My take on this is that I could file a lien against your property on some made-up bs without your knowledge and it would be recorded and up to you to discover it and deal with it.
