Haw. Prob. R. 141
CASE NUMBER
When a proceeding is brought to appoint a legal representative for no-fault benefits, the clerk shall assign a P. No., which case number shall then be used for all proceedings relating to the deceased.
COMMENTARY:
To maintain consistency in having all matters relating to a particular deceased contained in one court file, this rule changes no-fault legal representation proceedings from special proceedings to probate proceedings. However, this does not mean that the no-fault proceeds are thereby to be considered probate assets and thereby subject to creditors' claims; no change in the character of the assets results from the case number assignment.
