Think of it as a giant tip.
A wealthy widow in the U.K. repaid the kindness shown to her by a family that runs a Chinese restaurant she frequented by leaving them $21 million, and a High Court judge ruled Friday that her will was legal.
A High Court judge in the U.K. has ruled that a widow's will leaving $21 million to a couple that runs a Chinese restaurant she frequented is legal. Golda Bechal's five nephews and nieces had asked that the will be declared invalid, claiming that Bechal was suffering from dementia. However, the judge said it was "not irrational" for Bechal to leave the bulk of her estate to the couple, who had presented evidence that they and Bechal had gone on foreign holidays together and had met regularly.
