Anita Mui’s mum loses battle over will

THE mother of late Cantopop singer Anita Mui has lost her appeal to gain full control of her daughter’s assets worth nearly HK$100 million (S$15.9 million).

Madam Tam Mei-Kam had filed for appeal shortly after Anita passed away from cervical cancer in 2003. She claimed the late singer was not of sound mind when she made the will.

In the will, Anita had allocated a monthly allowance of HK$70,000 to her mother via a trust fund.

Anita’s mother Madam Tam and brother Peter.

She also allocated education funds of HK$1.7 million for the children of her second brother and sister – the late Ann Mui – and gave two properties to her best friend and popular fashion designer Eddie Lau.

Anita’s will also stated that her estate would be donated to the New Horizon Buddhist Association after her mother passes away.

According to Daily Chilli, it was reported that Anita wanted to ensure her mother would lead a comfortable life but was worried that Madam Tam would spend the money foolishly if she gains control of her estate.

The Hong Kong’s Court of Final Appeal dismissed the appeal filed by Madam Tam and Anita’s elder brother Peter.

The court also ruled that Anita’s estate continues to be monitored by the trust fund, while Madam Tam’s monthly allowance was increased to HK$120,000.
