All owners have the right under local law to cross Zuckerberg’s property at any time to access their property. Zuckerberg wants to prevent that in the future.
Judge must initiate auction
In his lawsuit, he relies on a special Hawaii remedy: He must ask a judge to auction those lots. If he agrees, there will be a forced sale. The highest bidder gets the property.
This procedure option was introduced because many estates have become so small due to their transfer from one generation to the next and the division that is often associated with it, that cultivation is often no longer worthwhile. In addition, many do not even know that they own land.
Zuckerberg now wants to have all rightful owners tracked down. He also announced generous payments. He wrote on Facebook that many of these people are now being paid for something they don’t even know is theirs. But no one is forced to sell.
