Driver Accused In Killing Family of Four In West Portal Now Accused of Hiding Wealth
Briefly

Mary Fong Lau, a 79-year-old involved in a lethal crash that killed a family of four, faces accusations of trying to conceal her wealth. The crash occurred on March 16, 2024, when Lau's SUV went the wrong way, causing the deaths of Diego Cardoso de Oliveira, Matilde Moncado Ramos Pinto, and their two young children. Following the accident, the families filed a wrongful death claim, now alleging Lau is transferring assets to avoid liability. Attorneys seek court intervention to stop transfers of her properties, claiming Lau acted with intent to defraud the plaintiffs.
Lau's attorneys did not disclose (in court filings) that Lau was transferring assets out of her name.
Lau, in her individual capacity and as trustee for the Mary F. Lau Revocable Trust, transferred real property with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud plaintiffs.
Attorneys with the law firm Quadra & Coll are asking a court to block Lau from making any more transfers of real estate holdings.
In the aftermath of the accident, Ms. Lau and her family sought professional help from legal, financial, medical, and mental health consultants.
