Haw. Prob. R. 143

As amended through September 30, 2024
Rule 143 - Accounting and Discharge

The legal representative appointed to collect no-fault benefits may petition to terminate the proceeding by filing an affidavit of the legal representative describing the actions taken by the legal representative to transfer the funds to those entitled to them, supported by appropriate receipts. Upon receipt of the petition and affidavit, and upon determining compliance with this rule, the clerk of the court shall enter an order terminating the proceeding and discharging the legal representative.

Haw. Prob. R. 143

COMMENTARY:

The role of the no-fault legal representative is so limited and administrative in nature that the legal representative's appointment should be terminated in a summary fashion, without further court order, once he or she can show that the job has been completed. This rule allows the clerk to directly enter an order of termination and discharge.
