I think this sort of dilemma only shows the importance of maintaining accurate and up-to-date family records.

Now there are a couple of interesting issues here. Lets say, somewhere along the closest line there are two dizygotic male twins. In this case, one ovuum will have been fertilized before the other. BUT the baby from the second fertilization may exit the birth canal before the first fertilized baby.
So which male baby carries on the line of property succession (or royal titles for that matter). Is it the first fertilized, or the first birth canal exit? God is the only one who knows which is the first fertilized. Maybe He will strike down the pretender before he can exert property rights.
Then there is the case of monozygotic male twins. In fairness there should be a 50/50 ownership of the girl, but the secular authorities will probably go 100% to the first one out the birth canal.
Phil
58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed,
even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which
is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring
k upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
