HRS §553A-22
Old custodianships are still valid under this law
This section makes sure that property transfers made before July 1, 1985, under the old gifts-to-minors law are still valid, even if they didn't follow the exact rules. It also says the new law applies to those old transfers, except where it would take away rights or extend a custodianship. Some age rules don't apply to custodianships that ended before July 1, 1985.

The statute, as written — Effect on existing custodianships
(a) Any transfer of custodial property as now defined in this chapter made before July 1, 1985, is validated notwithstanding that there was no specific authority in the Hawaii Uniform Gifts to Minors Act for the coverage of custodial property of that kind or for a transfer from that source at the time the transfer was made. (b) This chapter applies to all transfers made before July 1, 1985, in a manner and form prescribed in the Hawaii Uniform Gifts to Minors Act except insofar as the application impairs constitutionally vested rights or extends the duration of custodianships in existence on July 1, 1985. (c) Sections 553A-1 and 553A-20 with respect to the age of a minor for whom custodial property is held under this chapter do not apply to custodial property held in a custodianship that terminated because of the minor's attainment of the age of eighteen after March 27, 1972, and before July 1, 1985.
