A court has ordered the administrator of late Canto-pop diva Anita Mui Yim-fong's estate to pay Mui's mother HK$20,000 a month to cover her living costs.

Administrator HSBC International Trustee will also pay Tam Mei-kam, 88, HK$240,000 to settle her overdue rent.

The order came after a court ruled the suspension of Tam's living allowance in January.

The Court of First Instance heard yesterday Mui's estate had a net worth of HK$100 million, with HK$500,000 in cash.

Mui died of cervical cancer in December 2003, aged 40. Before she died, she made a will and set up the Karen Trust.

The will stated Mui's assets of HK$100 million would go to the trust, which provided Tam with an allowance. The balance after Tam's death would go to the New Horizon Buddhist Association.
