HI HB2615

Authorizes government agencies (attorney general, county attorneys, prosecuting attorneys, and office of consumer protection) to record a "notice of pendency of investigation" in the Bureau of Conveyances and Land Court when investigating suspected real property fraud or title violations.

Requires the notice to contain the investigating agency name, legal property description, investigation start date, and a disclaimer that it does not constitute a finding of wrongdoing or create a lien.

Establishes that the notice expires after 90 days from recordation, with possible court-ordered extension up to 180 days total, or upon filing a formal legal action or release by the investigating agency.

Allows property owners, title holders, or mortgagees to petition the court to contest and potentially expunge a notice they believe was filed in bad faith.

Targets deed fraud schemes where scammers use forged documents to claim ownership of properties belonging to vulnerable homeowners, then attempt to sell or use the property as loan collateral.
