HRS §560:3-719
Pay for the person handling an estate
The person in charge of a deceased person's estate can get paid a fair amount for their work. If a will says how much they should be paid, they can give up that amount and instead ask for a fair amount, as long as they do it before they officially start. They can also give up part or all of their pay, and can file that in writing with the court.

The statute, as written — Compensation of personal representative
A personal representative is entitled to reasonable compensation for the personal representative's services. If a will provides for compensation of the personal representative and there is no contract with the decedent regarding compensation, the personal representative may renounce the provision before qualifying and be entitled to reasonable compensation. A personal representative also may renounce the personal representative's right to all or any part of the compensation. A written renunciation of fee may be filed with the court.
