As amended through September 30, 2024
An interested person may petition for appointment of a legal representative to collect no-fault benefits by filing a petition and death certificate for the deceased. The petitioner shall show the name of the deceased, the insurer, the no-fault benefits to be paid, and the names and addresses of the family members to receive the benefits.
Haw. Prob. R. 140
COMMENTARY:
The no-fault statutes provide no guidance on how a legal representative is to be appointed. This rule clarifies the steps to take. Rules 140 through 144 apply only to accidents that occurred or proceedings begun before January 1, 1998. See Act 251 §§ 41, 61, 1997 Haw. Sess. Laws at 538-40 and 551.
