HRS §441-42

How much a trustee can be paid

This section sets the pay for a trustee managing a pre-need trust. The trustee gets the same pay as trust companies get for managing fiduciary accounts, but never more than 5% of the trust's yearly income. This limit applies to the trustee's total pay for managing the trust.
