HRS §353-24
When a conservator can be appointed for a prisoner
If someone is sent to prison for a felony for more than a year, a judge with probate powers can appoint a conservator to manage the prisoner's property while they are locked up. The conservator's authority ends when the prisoner is pardoned or released, but things the conservator did before that stay valid.

The statute, as written — Conservators of committed persons, appointed when
Whenever a person is sentenced to imprisonment for any felony for a term exceeding one year, any judge having probate powers, upon application, may appoint a conservator to have the care and management of the committed person's estate, real and personal, during the term of imprisonment or until the committed person is finally discharged from the sentence. The letters of conservatorship shall be revoked by the pardon or final discharge of the committed person, but the revocation shall not invalidate legal acts done by the conservator.
