Haw. Prob. R. 117 (2026)

Rule 117. CONSERVATOR’S FEES: BASIS AND AMOUNT.

Unless otherwise ordered by the court, a conservator shall be entitled to charge and collect against the conservatorship estate compensation in the amount equal to that permitted by statute to be charged by trustees of a private trust under Hawai‘i Revised Statutes Section 607-18. HRS § 560:5-417 allows the conservator "reasonable compensation." Much confusion has resulted in trying to determine the appropriate basis for a conservator's compensation. By using the trustee fee schedule, certainty will result with a consistent fee schedule for similar work.

(Amended April 28, 2006, effective July 1, 2006.)
