Dutta, who was close to Tata. The estimated value of these assets is Rs 800 crore ($93 million)
A share of the family's Juhu bungalow will be inherited by Tata's brother, Jimmy Naval Tata. The Alibaug property and a collection of three firearms, which includes a .25-bore pistol, will be given to Mehli Mistry.
Shantanu Naidu, Tata's executive assistant, will have his student loan waived. Neighbour Jake Malite will also receive an interest-free education loan.
