Ms Choi, 28, who lived in the rarefied world of Hong Kong's celebrities and social media influencers, was murdered in February.
Her former husband Alex Kwong, 28, was arrested and charged that month in connection with the brutal killing, along with his 65-year-old father Kwong Kau, 63-year-old mother Jenny Li and brother Anthony Kwong, 31.
The grisly details of Ms Choi's murder attracted worldwide media attention. Her head and several body parts were found in a large soup pot in a rented village house in Tai Po, a suburb in Hong Kong, days after she was reported missing.
The inheritance is being held up because Ms Choi did not register her marriage with her long-time partner Chris Tam, the Hong Kong newspaper reported on Sunday, citing a source.
