Haw. Prob. R. 144
PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE TO ACT
When probate proceedings are pending, the special administrator or personal representative of the estate, without court order, may collect and distribute no-fault benefits.
COMMENTARY:
When a personal representative has been appointed for the deceased, there is no need to have a legal representative appointed for no-fault benefits, and the personal representative may handle the transfer of proceeds to the family. The proceeds are not thereby subject to creditors' claims, considered probate assets, or subject to any statutory fee by the personal representative or attorney. No-fault benefits are non-probate assets.
