Property Ownership
In Hawaii, a 'freehold estate' is distinguished from a 'non-freehold estate' primarily because:
AA. A freehold estate is always a fee simple; non-freehold is always a lease
BB. Freehold estates have indeterminate (potentially unlimited) duration; non-freehold estates have defined limited duration✓ Correct
CC. Freehold estates don't require a deed; non-freehold estates do
DD. Freehold estates can only be held by Hawaii residents
Explanation
Freehold estates (fee simple, life estates) have potentially unlimited or life-measured duration. Non-freehold estates (leasehold) are limited in time.
