Hawaii’s commission schedule could not be read from the state’s own site
Hawaii publishes the Hawaii Revised Statutes on capitol.hawaii.gov, but that host refused every request made for this page. Repeated attempts on the date recorded below — including with a current desktop browser user-agent and the usual accept headers — returned HTTP 403 rather than the statute.
The Hawaii State Judiciary self-help area was checked as a second route. Its own navigation lists self-help material for divorce, foreclosure, landlord-tenant, protective orders, regular claims and small claims, and contains no probate section, so it does not carry the provision either.
Hawaii is understood to set personal representative commissions by a printed schedule rather than by a bare reasonableness test, which makes the absence consequential: a schedule is precisely the kind of provision readers expect a site to quote exactly. This site will not quote one it has not read.
Until the statute can be read from the state’s own publication, the authoritative sources are the probate division of the Circuit Court where the estate is administered and the current printed statutes.
The access record, stated precisely so it can be re-tested: the Hawaii Revised Statutes chapter path on capitol.hawaii.gov returned HTTP 403 on a plain request and again with a full desktop browser header set, including a current Chrome user-agent, accept, accept-language and referer. The Judiciary site at courts.state.hi.us returned HTTP 404 for the probate self-help path. Its court-forms index did respond, at roughly 150 KB, but a link scan of that page found no probate form entries at all. The rules-of-court index responded at roughly 165 KB and likewise carried no probate rules link.
That pattern — a live host that answers for everything except the law — is worth naming, because it is easily mistaken for a missing provision. Nothing here suggests Hawaii lacks a compensation rule. It suggests the rule exists and is not being served to the public over the open web at the addresses the state itself advertises.
Hawaii is also the reason this site now distinguishes two different kinds of blank. A figure can be absent because a state never enacted one, or absent because the enacted text could not be retrieved. Those look identical on a page that simply omits the number, so each unreadable provision is recorded here as its own entry rather than being silently skipped.
Authority that would settle this: Haw. Rev. Stat. (commissions of personal representatives). The access attempt described above was made on 2026-09-17. Nothing is quoted from it, because nothing could be read from it; a figure restated from a secondary summary would look like a sourced answer without being one.
