HRS §560:5-116
How to ask for notice in a guardianship case
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section lets someone with a real interest in a guardianship or protective case ask the court to notify them before orders are made. The request must state their interest and address. It only covers future proceedings, and government agencies paying benefits or providing services are considered interested.

An interested person not otherwise entitled to notice who desires to be notified before any order is made in a guardianship proceeding, including a proceeding after the appointment of a guardian, or in a protective proceeding, may file a request for notice with the clerk of the court in which the proceeding is pending. The clerk shall send or deliver a copy of the request to the guardian and to the conservator, if one has been appointed. A request is not effective unless it contains a statement showing the interest of the person making it and the address of that person or a lawyer to whom notice is to be given. The request is effective only as to proceedings conducted after its filing. A governmental agency paying or planning to pay benefits, or providing services, to the respondent or protected person is an interested person in a protective proceeding.
