Within 10 days after a decision of the court, including any interlocutory order, the prevailing party, unless otherwise ordered by the court, shall prepare an order in accordance with the decision and seek the approval as to form of opposing counsel, any master and guardian ad litem, and any pro se interested persons in opposition who appeared at the hearing thereon and deliver to the court the original and one copy. If approval as to form is not secured within 10 days, the prevailing party shall serve a copy upon each party who has appeared in the action and deliver to the court the original and one copy, along with notice of service on the other parties. If any party objects to the form of a proposed order, that person shall within 5 days serve upon the prevailing party and deliver to the court a statement of that party's objections and the reasons for failing to approve, if any, the form of the party's proposed order. Thereafter, the court shall settle the order. Approval as to form shall not affect the right of the approving party to appeal from any order issued.
Haw. Prob. R. 32
COMMENTARY:
This rule provides a definite method of settling orders in probate proceedings and incorporates the civil rule of approval of counsel, which is not currently practiced in probate.
