In Hawaii after the Sawada case, Blackacre is held by H and W as Tenants by the Entirety. H and W are married. H gets into debt and a creditor of H, X, sues H to reach Blackacre to satisfy the debt. Will X succeed? Why or why not?
No, the creditor, X, will not succeed. In Hawaii, after the Sawada case, the H is in the same position as the W was at common law. At common law, the W could not alienate her ½ undivided interest in the whole in Blackacre. Since a creditor can only “go after” property that a debtor spouse could alienate, and since the H is now treated in Hawaii for debtor-creditor purposes the same as the W under common law, H may not unilaterally alienate Blackacre and the creditor of H cannot “go after” Blackacre to satisfy the debt owed by the debtor spouse H.
