This is a deal breaker for me! There is absolutely no way it is possible and anyone who has read historical romance to any extent knows this. Some of the other scenarios you mention are not probable, but at least they are not against the law!
Edit to add: I made the assumption you are talking about title and entailed estate inheritances, the laws about which are very strictly enforced. Other types of inheritances may not be dependent upon blood descendents.
