Anyone here know a fair amount about this? I've got a situation I'd like to discuss as far as my legal rights as the last remaining member of my family and getting left out of a family will in lieu of non family members

Not sure how that works with an Executor and all that.
Accept NO substitutes.
I'm more than happy to sympathise with your life situation and maybe even advise on any consequential interpersonal relationship issues, but probate law is absolutely something you should only discuss (1) in private with (2) a qualified lawyer. I know very little about law but even I know that much.
"Life can be hell because going through hell one of the ways you learn, at least that's my rationalization".
But before you go down that route, make sure you know what you really want, Deaths bring out the worst in people, regardless of the merits, challenging a will tends to tear families apart. You have to decide for yourself what is important, but go in with your eyes open,
A friend ended up in a protracted legal battle for years because his mother challenged his father's will. It only ended when the lawyers had the entire estate and there was nothing left to distribute,
So do find out what your rights are, but before acting on that, make absoulutly sure that whatever your fighting for is worth it.
Exactly. Wills > custody disputes > land disputes are the things that provoke the most insanely unreasonable behaviour in otherwise apparently normal people.
The best advice I can give regarding inheritance laws is to use Tanistry as your inheritance law if you're of Celtic culture - vassals and family members all love it, and although you lose control of who exactly inherits you can at least be assured that it'll remain within your dynasty.
...beyond that, I recommend the recommendations of everyone else in the thread, and that's talking to a lawyer.
I love it when Crusader Kings can make it into everyday conversation!
You better get out there and produce a male heir, fast!

This short sighted thinking
The rule is "heir and a spare"
But yeah, lawyer is the best option here
Or switch to Absolute-Cognatic like a civilized person.
