Actually, I think it was from a thread on AMT where ColdBlueIce asserterted that no-one had ever challanged or attempted to verify the will, and that Swami Shantananda had based his court claim on being Gurudev's closest disciple, but I may be incorrect. Regardless, I did various google searches and can't find a reference to Swami Shantananda's standing with Gurudev, so I withdraw the assertion (unless ColdBlueIce (or whoever I heard it from) or someone else who knows more about the court case speaks up).
