There are two recording systems in Hawaii, Regular and Land Court. Once a property is recorded in Land Court it can not be recorded in the regular system, while properties recorded in the regular system can be recorded in Land Court. You have a much greater protection if your property is recorded in Land Court. Don't try to save money, it will cost you more. Land Court has special requirements and if your Deed is not conforming to its regulations they will reject the recording. I wouldn't buy property without title insurance, so I would go through escrow; but if you do, you can have an attorney draw up the purchase contract and the deed. It should cost around $150 + $50 recording fee. (Forget the handwritten stuff!) [
