Haw. Prob. R. 39 (2026)

Rule 39. STATUTORY FEES; TIME OF PAYMENT. Fees set by statute may be paid by the fiduciary and charged to the estate when they are earned, in regular installments over the accounting period, or when finally calculable. The liquidity of the estate may determine when the fees may be paid. COMMENTARY: Trustee's fees are still governed by statute. See HRS § 607-18. Therefore, this rule will still govern the payment of statutory trustee's fees. All other fees will be subject to Rule 40.
