HRS §560:5-432
Paying debts or handing over property to an out-of-state guardian
If you owe money to or hold property for someone under a guardianship, you can pay or hand it over to their court-appointed guardian from another state. You must first see proof of the guardian's appointment and a sworn statement that no guardianship case is happening in Hawaii. Doing this protects you from being sued again.

The statute, as written — Payment of debt and delivery of property to foreign conservator without local proceeding
(a) A person who is indebted to, or has the possession of tangible or intangible property of a protected person, may pay the debt or deliver the property to a foreign conservator, guardian of the estate, or other court-appointed fiduciary of the state of residence of the protected person. Payment or delivery shall be made only upon proof of appointment and presentation of an affidavit made by or on behalf of the fiduciary stating that a protective proceeding relating to the protected person is not pending in this State and the foreign fiduciary is entitled to payment or to receive delivery. (b) Payment or delivery in accordance with subsection (a) discharges the debtor or possessor, absent knowledge of any protective proceeding pending in this State.
