HRS §554D-302
When a power holder can act for others
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section says that a person who holds a power of appointment can act for and legally bind other people affected by that power, as long as there is no major conflict of interest between them on the specific issue. It only covers representation when interests align.
