What is required when filing petitions on behalf of corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies in Land Court?

When filing petitions on behalf of corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies in Land Court, it is necessary to have the signature of an attorney who is admitted to practice law in Hawaii. This requirement is in place because legal entities, such as corporations or limited liability companies, cannot represent themselves in court. Instead, they must be represented by a qualified attorney who is knowledgeable about the legal processes and regulations within the state.

This ensures that the filings comply with legal standards and that the rights of the entities are adequately protected. The involvement of a licensed attorney also helps navigate the complexities of Land Court procedures, which can vary significantly from other court systems.
