You have looked after them and spent money on their treatment when they were incapable of giving consent. This become contingent contract. You may be entitled to recover the expenditure but not share on the property.

So legally you may be entitled but may not be able to secure refund.
The family when back to normal will humiliate you whether you claim reimbursement or not.

You would not be able to get share in the property as reward for what you have done.

you have no rights on their property . you have helped them in their hour of need but that does not give you any rights on their property

I slightly disagree with Mr Shorff.
Help to needy relative or friend in distress confers a right to be humiliated by the same person whom you help, without undue delay.

legally speaking you can claim reimbursement of expenses on the consideration that it became a quasi-contract.

After having helped them without expecting anything in return at that time, why did you change your mind now and have an eye on their property, it is illegal to do so, if at all they have been taken care by your own means, you may claim reimbursement of the expenses if they can afford to.

"if they do will on the name of me then"
I can just laugh.
If they really will in your favour and all three of them die. then their relatives will emerge out of nowhere and have you jailed for killing them (atleast they will try). You will dispose some part of your saving to defend you.
Technically you have only right of reimbursement of the expenses incurred
Section 68 to 70 of Indian Contract Act apply in your case. Nothing beyond this.
68. Claim for necessaries supplied to person incapable of contracting, or on his account -
If a person, incapable of entering into a contract, or anyone whom he is legally bound to support, is supplied by another person with necessaries suited to his condition in life, the person who has furnished such supplies is entitled to be reimbursed from the property of such incapable person.
Illustrations
(a) A supplies B, a lunatic, with necessaries suitable to his condition in life. A is entitled to be reimbursed from B’s property.
(b) A suplies the wife and children of B, a lunatic, with necessaries suitable to their condition in life. A is entitled to be reimbursed from B’s property.
—————————–
1. The property of a Government ward in Madhya Pradesh is not liable under this section; see the C.P. Court of Wards Act, 1899 (C.P. Act 24 of 1899), section 31(I).
69. Reimbursement of person paying money due by another, in payment of which he is interested
A person who is interested in the payment of money which another is bound by law to pay, and who therefore pays it, is entitled to be reimbursed by the other.
Illustration
B holds land in Bengal, on a lease granted by A, the zamindar. The revenue payable by A to the Government being in arrear, his land is advertised for sale by the Government. Under the revenue law, the consequence of such sale will be the annulment of B’s lease. B to prevent the sale and the consequent annulment of his own lease, pays the Government the sum due from A. A is bound to make good to B the amount so paid.
COMMENTS
Contribution and reimbursement
Where a person is jointly liable with other to pay, a payment by him of the other’s share would not give him a right of recovery under this section; Jagpatiraju v. Sadnusannama, AIR 1916 Mad 980.
70. Obligation of person enjoying benefit of non-gratuitous act
Where a person lawfully does anything for another person, or delivers anything to him, not intending to do so gratuitously, and such another person enjoys the benefit thereof, the letter is bound to make compensation to the former in respect of, or to restore, the thing so done or delivered.
