HRS §554G-7
Transferor's retained powers after a permitted transfer
A permitted transfer still counts under this law even if the person who made it keeps some powers or acts as an investment advisor. That person only has the powers written in the trust document. Any deal giving them more power is void.

The statute, as written — Retained interests of transferor
(a) A permitted transfer shall be subject to this chapter notwithstanding a transferor's retention of any or all of the powers and rights described in section 554G-5(c) and notwithstanding the transferor's service as investment advisor pursuant to section 554G-4.5(a)(3). (b) The transferor shall have only the powers and rights specifically conferred by the trust instrument. Except as permitted by sections 554G-5(c) and 554G-4.5(a)(3), a transferor shall have no rights or authority with respect to the property that is the subject of a permitted transfer or to the income from property that is the subject of a permitted transfer. Any agreement or understanding purporting to grant or permit the retention of any greater rights or authority shall be void.
