Servants bequeathed more than peanuts

Raj Rajeshwari, 66, princess of Bilaspur in India's Himachal Pradesh state, reportedly changed her will shortly before she died.

She left about 25m rupees ($556,000) to a peanut-selling father and son who also worked as her domestic helpers.

"The remaining half of the property has been handed over to a trust of the Himachal Pradesh government to open an old people's home."
...
The princess' brother, Kriti Chand and his wife, Karuna, claim the servants "drugged" the princess into transferring assets into their name.

While the timing is unusual, the fact that the will signing was witnessed by a magistrate must throw doubt on the drugging theory.

The idea of 'ancestral property' going to the people who cared for the last owner, and an old people's home, sounds good to me.
