Haw. Prob. R. 37
AVAILABILITY
The courts of the various circuits, acting unanimously through their administrative judges, may approve model forms of common probate, conservatorship, guardianship, trust, and miscellaneous proceeding pleadings and orders, which do not have to conform to the formatting rules applicable to individually prepared documents.
COMMENTARY:
Use of model forms would greatly lessen preparation time, mistakes, and court processing time of common court pleadings. The court should approve model forms of common petitions, notices, and orders, but the probate code no longer requires that the court provide such forms. This rule requires the administrative judges of all four circuit courts to approve the forms so that practice among the circuits will be consistent.
(Amended November 12, 1997, effective December 15, 1997; further amended April 28, 2006, effective July 1, 2006.)
