INSTRUCTIONS TO CLAIMANTS
Persons claiming an interest in the property listed herein may do one, and only one, of the following:
1) The Claimant may do nothing, in which case the property will be administratively
forfeited; or
2) The Claimant may fi le a Petition for Remission or Mitigation. A Petition for Remission
or Mitigation admits that the property is subject to forfeiture but asks the Attorney General to
pardon the property, in whole or in part, due to extenuating circumstances. The Attorney General’s
decision is fi nal, not subject to appeal, and may be made without a hearing. A Petition for Remission
or Mitigation must be signed by the petitioner and sworn on oath before a notary public, and
shall contain the following:
a) A reasonably complete description of the property;
b) A statement of the interest of the petitioner in the property, as owner or interest
holder, which may be supported by bills of sale, contracts, or mortgages, or othe
documentary evidence; and
c) Facts and circumstances suffi cient to show whether the petitioner:
i) owns or holds an interest as defi ned by Section 712A-1, HRS, in the
seized property;
ii) had any knowledge that the property was or would be involved in any
violation of the law;
iii) had any knowledge of the particular violation which subjected the
property to seizure and forfeiture;
iv) had any knowledge that the user of the property had any record,
including arrests, except where the person was acquitted or the
charges dismissed due to lack of evidence, for the violation which
subjected the property to seizure and forfeiture or for any crime which
is similar in nature.
The Attorney General will inquire into the facts and circumstances alleged in the Petition for Remission
or Mitigation (“Petition”), if one is fi led, and provide a written decision on the Petition within sixty
days. If the circumstances of the case require more time, the Petitioner will be notifi ed in writing,
within the sixty day period of the circumstances requiring more time, and be further notifi ed of the
expected decision date; or
3) The Claimant may seek judicial determination of the forfeiture by fi ling a claim and
cost or in pauperis bond. A claim shall be signed by the claimant and sworn on oath before a
notary public and shall comply with the requirements of Section 712A-12(5), HRS. Specifi cally, the
claim shall be signed by the claimant and sworn on oath before a notary public and shall set forth
all the following:
a) The name of the claimant;
b) The address at which the claimant will accept future mailings from the court or
the prosecuting attorney;
c) The nature and extent of the claimant’s interest in the property;
d) The time, transferor and circumstances of the claimant’s acquisition of the
interest in the property;
e) The specifi c provisions of Chapter 712A, HRS, relied on in asserting that the
property seized for forfeiture is not subject to forfeiture;
f) Facts supporting each assertion that the property is not subject to forfeiture;
g) Any additional facts supporting the claimant’s claim; and
h) The precise relief sought.
The claim must be accompanied by a cost bond in the amount of $2,500.00 or ten percent of the
estimated value of the property, whichever is greater, or an in pauperis bond consisting of a declaration
in the form of and containing the elements specifi ed in the Appendix to the Hawaii Rules of
Penal Procedure.
Upon receipt of a claim and bond, which substantially comply with the foregoing requirements, the
Attorney General will notify the Prosecuting Attorney who may either petition the Circuit Court for
forfeiture of the property within forty-fi ve (45) days of receipt of notice that a proper claim and bond
has been fi led, or may elect to honor the claim and forego further forfeiture proceedings. If the
Prosecuting Attorney forgoes further proceedings, the seizing agency will be authorized to release the
property, or some specifi ed interest in it. If the Prosecuting Attorney petitions the circuit court for
forfeiture and the claimant fails to prove that his/her interest is exempt from forfeiture under Section
712A-5, HRS, the claimant shall pay the State’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys
fees incurred in connection with a judicial proceeding.
* * * * * *
A Petition for Remission or Mitigation, or a claim and cost or in pauperis bond must be fi led with the
Attorney General at the address specifi ed below within thirty days after the date of publication of this
notice or actual receipt of the Petition for Administrative Forfeiture, whichever occurs fi rst. No extension
of the fi ling deadline may be granted for owners or interest-holders who wish to fi le a Petition for
Remission or Mitigation. However, for a claim, one (1) extension of thirty (30) days for fi ling of the
claim may be granted upon a written request demonstrating good cause provided that the request is
received by the Attorney General within the thirty (30) day period for fi ling a claim.
Notice is also hereby given that the property will be forfeited to the State of Hawaii if a petition for
remission or mitigation, or a claim and cost or in pauperis bond, is not fi led with the Attorney General
in substantial compliance with Sections 712A-10 and 712A-12(5), HRS.
