HRS §560:2-114
When a parent cannot inherit from their child
A parent cannot inherit from a child if their parental rights were ended and not restored, or if the child died before 18 and the parent's rights could have been ended for abuse, neglect, or abandonment. If barred, the parent is treated as if they died before the child. The child can still inherit from the parent.

The statute, as written — Parent barred from inheriting in certain circumstances
(a) A parent shall be barred from inheriting from or through a child of the parent if: (1) The parent's parental rights were terminated and the parent-child relationship was not judicially reestablished; or (2) The child died before reaching eighteen years of age and there is clear and convincing evidence that immediately before the child's death, the parental rights of the parent could have been terminated under the laws of this State, other than this chapter, on the basis of nonsupport, abandonment, abuse, neglect, or other actions or inactions of the parent toward the child. (b) For the purpose of intestate succession from or through the deceased child, a parent who is barred from inheriting under this section shall be treated as if the parent predeceased the child. (c) Except as otherwise provided in section 560:2-125(b), the termination of a parent's parental rights to a child shall have no effect on the right of the child or a descendant of the child to inherit from or through the parent.
