HRS §560:3-1007
Getting a certificate to clear liens after the estate is done
After a personal representative's job ends, they or their sureties can get a certificate from the registrar if no court case about the estate is pending. This certificate removes liens on property used as security instead of a bond, but it does not stop lawsuits against the representative or surety.

The statute, as written — Certificate discharging liens securing fiduciary performance
After the appointment has terminated, the personal representative, the personal representative's sureties, or any successor of either, upon the filing of a verified application showing, so far as is known by the applicant, that no action concerning the estate is pending in any court, is entitled to receive a certificate from the registrar that the personal representative appears to have fully administered the estate in question. The certificate evidences discharge of any lien on any property given to secure the obligation of the personal representative in lieu of bond or any surety, but does not preclude action against the personal representative or the surety.
