Understanding Foreclosure in Hawaii

Hawaii allows both judicial and non-judicial foreclosure, though judicial foreclosure has become more common in recent years.

Here’s how the process generally works:

  1. The borrower falls behind on mortgage payments
  2. The lender initiates foreclosure through either court (judicial) or a non-judicial process
  3. Required notices are issued
  4. The property is sold at auction

Because Hawaii allows multiple foreclosure methods, timelines can vary. Judicial foreclosures typically take longer due to court involvement, while non-judicial foreclosures may move more quickly.
