HRS §532-12
Money for a child is not an advance on inheritance
This section says that when a parent spends money to support or educate a child, or gives money to a child, it is not considered an advance on the child's inheritance, unless it was meant as a settlement in life. This means such spending does not reduce what the child would otherwise inherit.
