HRS §657-34
Extra time to sue for minors, insane people, or prisoners
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗If someone has a legal right to enter property or file a lawsuit but is under 18, insane, or in prison when that right starts, they (or someone acting for them) get extra time. They can act within 5 years after the disability ends, even if the usual 20-year limit has passed.
