Haw. Prob. R. 27

As amended through September 30, 2024

Haw. Prob. R. 27

COMMENTARY:

This rule echoes current court practice. It allows the court discretion in appointing a master for private trusts and estates, depending upon the circumstances, while always requiring a master in a charitable trust accounting.
