HRS §560:3-908

Proof of receiving your inheritance is final

If you get property or payment from the estate's personal representative, the proof of that transfer is final proof that you now own that property. This is true against everyone with an interest in the estate. The only exception is if the distribution was improper, then the representative can get the property back.
