Anita Mui's mom loses court battle over $100m estate

Anita Mui's mom loses court fight over $100m estate

The mother of the late Cantopop diva Anita Mui Yim-fong yesterday lost her legal battle to wrest control of her daughters estimated HK$100 million estate.

The High Court said Muis will, in which she left the bulk of her estate to Karen Trust, with her mother getting HK$70,000 a month for the rest of her life, was valid.

Tam Mei-kam, 84, had argued her daughter was dying of cervical cancer at the time and was mentally unfit to instruct and execute the will which she signed on December 3, 2003. Mui died 27 days later aged 40.

Tam said she would fight the decision all the way to the Court of Final Appeal and would donate the entire estate to charity if successful.

In the 104-page written judgment, High Court Judge Andrew Cheung Kui- nung said he found the three witnesses, who testified Mui was of sound mind when she signed the will, honest, credible and reliable.

They were her principal doctor Peter Teo Man-lung, Muis godmother of 20 years Sheila Ho and HSBCs private trust director Doris Lau.

The judge said Teo, who was present when the contents of the documents were explained to Mui, and who had spent a substantial amount of time talking to Mui during her hospital stay, was in a particularly good position to say whether Muis mental condition was normal.

The judge dismissed the suggestion put forward by Tam that Mui was suffering from a form of hepatic pre- coma, a brain disorder associated with liver disease on December 3.

What is plain to me from the evidence is that the deceased only wanted to give her mother just sufficient money to maintain her then living standard, and nothing else, the judge said.

The rationale is quite plain on the facts she did not trust her mother on managing money.

The judge said Mui was worried that if she left her mother everything in one go, she would squander it all, with the help of her eldest brother, Peter Mui Kai-ming.

Besides her mothers living expenses, Mui set aside up to HK$400,000 as university expenses for each of her brothers four children.

Her properties in Happy Valley and London were left to retired designer Eddie Lau Kai.

The judge ruled the costs of HSBC, the New Horizon Buddhist Association, a repository under the Karen Trust, and Eddie Lau Kai be paid out of Muis estate.

Court battle on the late Antia Mui Yim-fongs's will

The mother of late Cantopop singer and actress Anita Mui Yim-fong is fighting a court battle to gain control of her daughters entire fortune estimated at more than HK$100 million.
Tam Mei-kam, 84, is challenging the validity of the will that was executed at the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital on December 3, 2003 less than a month before Mui died of cervical cancer at the age of 40. Tam, as the plaintiff in the probate action, asked the High Court to declare the will void, and allow her to be the sole beneficiary of the estate in the event of intestacy.

The value of Muis estate was about HK$30 million to HK$35 million in 2003, the court was told yesterday.

The current value, however, is estimated at more than HK$100 million.

Albert Yau Kai-cheong, representing New Horizon Buddhist Association, one of the beneficiaries named in Muis will, said the singer decided to make a will and set up a trust with the help of her godmother, Sheila Ho, out of concern for her mothers future.

She was afraid that, if she were to leave her properties to her mother absolutely, she would squander them in no time, Yau said at the opening of the 25-day hearing.

Its our case that the plaintiff is very bad in managing her own finances.

According to Yau, Muis will indicated she would set up a trust in which her mother would receive HK$70,000 a month as living expenses during her lifetime.

The two daughters of Mui Tak- ming, one of Muis elder brothers, and the two sons of Mui Oi-fo
ng, the singers late sister, will receive HK$100,000 a year as university expenses, up to HK$1.7 million.

Mui also left two of her many properties one in Happy Valley and one in London to her old friend, designer Eddie Lau Kai, who is a respondent in the case.

The New Horizon Buddhist Association, devoted to promoting Tibetan Buddhism, will be the final repository under the trust.

Mui was a Buddhist.

According to Yau, Mui wanted to transfer all her assets to the trust before she died to avoid paying estate duty, which in 2003 was 15 percent.

But her assets were not transferred to the trust in time.

Tam claimed her daughter did not have the mental capacity to sign the will when she was under the influence of tranquilizers to treat her cancer and other illnesses, including hepatic encephalopathy which can make the patient confused and disorientated.

Tam also believed Mui did not have the necessary educational background to understand the setting up of any complex trust or testamentary arrangements.

The association will summon Peter Teo, a doctor who was present when Mui signed the will, to testify that she did have a "sound and clear mind" when she made the legal arrangement, despite her declining health.

HSBC International Trustee, the executor and administrator of the will, is also named as a respondent.

The hearing before Justice Andrew Cheung Kui-nung continues today.
