Haw. Prob. R. 127
TRUST REGISTRATION
To register a trust, a person shall file with the clerk of the court in the judicial circuit in which the trust has its administrative situs a Trust Registration Statement that complies with the requirements of Rule 4 and contains the name of the trust, the date the trust was created, the name and address of the settlor, the name and address of the original trustee, and the name and address of the current trustee (if different from the original trustee). The Trust Registration Statement need not identify the beneficiaries, assets, or provisions of the trust.
COMMENTARY:
This rule provides guidance for the content of Trust Registration Statements required by HRS § 560:1-108. Although required by the statute, very few trusts are actually registered. The registration provides a benefit to the trust estate, in that it establishes the location of the trust for purposes of securing the venue of any proceedings or lawsuits involving the trust.
