Property Ownership

CC. The state's fractional interest in Native Hawaiian trust lands
DD. A leasehold arrangement with partial ownership of improvements
Explanation
Fractional ownership divides ownership of a property (typically 4–13 shares) among co-owners who share usage time proportionally. Unlike timeshares, owners hold actual title to their fraction. Hawaii resort properties have used fractional ownership to make luxury properties accessible to multiple buyers while sharing maintenance costs.
