HRS §560:3-1008
Handling property found after an estate is closed
If new property of a dead person's estate is found after the estate is closed, someone involved can ask the court to name a representative to handle it. The court decides who gets the job. Old claims that were already barred cannot be brought up again.

The statute, as written — Subsequent administration
If other property of the estate is discovered after an estate has been settled and the personal representative discharged or after one year after a closing statement has been filed, the court upon petition of any interested person and upon notice as it directs may appoint the same or a successor personal representative to administer the subsequently discovered estate. If a new appointment is made, unless the court orders otherwise, the provisions of this chapter apply as appropriate; but no claim previously barred may be asserted in the subsequent administration.
