Yet another of Stanley Ho’s children makes court filing registering interest in late casino magnate’s estate
- Angela Ho, Stanley Ho’s eldest surviving child, makes court filing two months after publicly chastising her younger sister for doing the same thing
- Her filing is the fourth to be made so far over the estate of the late ‘King of Gambling’
Late gaming tycoon Stanley Ho Hung-sun’s eldest surviving child has joined her siblings in filing a court notice in Hong Kong to register her interest in their late father’s estate, two months after she publicly distanced herself from her sister for taking similar action.
Angela Ho Chiu-yin on Tuesday lodged a caveat with the Probate Registry of the High Court demanding that her solicitors at Fangda Partners be notified before the sealing of her father’s grant, which includes court orders authorising the administration of his estate.
Her notice is the fourth one filed over the estate of Stanley Ho, who was counted as one of Asia’s richest men for decades, with a personal fortune estimated at HK$50 billion (US$6.4 billion) at the time of his retirement in 2018.
The tycoon died on May 26, at the age of 98, survived by three wives and 15 of his 17 children, and leaving behind a legacy of having transformed Macau into the world’s biggest casino hub.
His youngest daughter from his first marriage, Deborah, filed the first caveat just 11 days after his death, on June 5.
The move prompted Angela, Deborah’s older sister, to issue a statement through her lawyers describing the court action as “completely irresponsible and inappropriate”.
Both Angela and Deborah are children from Stanley Ho’s first marriage to Clementina De Mello Leitao, also known as Tininha, who died in 2004.
