Haw. Prob. R. 6
STIPULATIONS
(a) Presentation. Unless made in open court, all stipulations shall be in writing, signed by the parties or their attorneys, clearly identify all parties not participating in the stipulation, and be filed with the court.
(b) Format for Court Approval. An order based upon a stipulation shall be sufficient if the words "Approved and so ordered" are endorsed at the end of the stipulation and signed by the judge.
COMMENTARY:
This rule would conform probate court stipulations to common practice. The statement as to parties affected and not affected by the stipulation will speed up the processing of stipulations, as the court staff will not have to confirm that all parties have signed the stipulation. The attorneys do not have to sign the stipulation, but may do so in lieu of the signature of the attorney's client.
A stipulation is not necessarily signed or approved by the judge, but Rule 6(b) provides guidance as the proper format to use for court approval.
