HRS §560:3-710

Power to avoid transfers

This section says that if a deceased person transferred property in a way that the law lets creditors undo, that property can be used to pay the deceased person's unsecured debts. Only the personal representative (the person in charge of the estate) can recover that property, but any existing liens come first.
