HRS §425-140
Who can wrap up a partnership after it ends
After a partnership ends, a partner who did not cause the ending can help close it down. A court can supervise if asked. The last surviving partner's representative can also do this. The person closing can keep the business running briefly, handle lawsuits, pay debts, and give out assets.
