[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Anyone signing a will in Hawaii, and the family member, friend or office helping set up the signing. Who can make a will, per the official page: 18 or older, of sound mind. Not the right fit if The person signing isn't in Hawaii, you still need the will written (that's a lawyer's job), or someone may contest it. Not a will form or a legal service. Why it is different - Built only from our Hawaii will signing data file, checked November 2026 against HRS 560:2-502, Execution; witnessed wills; holographic wills (Hawaii Legislature); HRS 560:2-501, Who may make will (Hawaii State Legislature); HRS 560:2-504, Self-proved will (Hawaii State Legislature); HRS 560:2-505, Who may witness (Hawaii State Legislature); Nolo (secondary source): How to Make a Will in Hawaii (Nolo); Justia (statute text) (secondary source): HRS 560:2-516, Duty of custodian of will; liability (2020 Hawaii Revised Statutes, Justia statute text). - 1 fact isn't stated on those pages, so the kit leaves it out and lists it once to look up, instead of guessing. - Also from the file: After the testator dies, whoever holds the original will must, when an interested person asks, promptly hand it to someone able to seek probate or file it with the court. A person who deliberately fails to do so is liable for the losses caused, which the court may triple, and refusing a court order to produce it is contempt (HRS 560:2-516, Justia statute text). - For the estate side in Hawaii, the Hawaii Executor and Estate Kit: Gross value of the estate in Hawaii up to $100,000, not counting vehicles, which may be transferred regardless of value. The section covers personal property only. What is inside - **Start here.** The 6 confirmed Hawaii facts at a glance; to look up on the official page: remote witnessing. - **Hawaii signing-day checklist.** Bring 2 witnesses. The rule: Two witnesses, each signing within a reasonable time after seeing the signing or the acknowledgment. Pick witnesses who get nothing under the will and aren't married to someone who does. Have a notary or another officer who can administer oaths there for the self-proving affidavit. The statute names that officer rather than notaries by name. Allowed at signing or any time later. The testator and witnesses sign before an officer authorized to administer oaths, under official seal. If no notary is available on the day, the affidavit can be added later, while the witnesses can still be reached. The rule here: A will, or any part of it, isn't invalid because an interested witness signed it. The testator signs (or acknowledges the signature) while the witnesses watch, then each witness signs. This checklist is for a typed will signed with witnesses. - **Witness information sheet.** One block per Hawaii witness (2 required, plus a spare). - **Original-will storage and location record.** Where the original is and who has copies. Handwritten wills in Hawaii: Recognized if the signature and material parts are in the testator's handwriting. No witnesses needed. - **Hawaii will signing tracker (Excel).** Steps, ID, copies and review dates. Electronic wills: Not authorized, per Nolo's Hawaii page; the will has to be on paper. For a self-proving will, Nolo describes the testator and witnesses going to a notary to sign the affidavit.
