with that said, you yourself dont understand why he would do such a thing as to leave EVERYTHING toyou and not his family.
Does he have any children. If he does, and he left them with nothing that was a herendous thing to do.Thats unforgivable.
He brought them into this world, and leave them nothing is just unspeakable.
If i was his family i would deffinitely dispute the will.
Now, not talking law now, but morally what do you feel would be the right thing to do?

I know he hurt you badly but you both still loved each other and both of you knew it I do think if he hadn't passed away you two would have found your way back to each other. That he actually made a will and left it all to you when at the time you weren't talking to him shows he really cared about you and was sorry for what he did.
As for his family. They don't sound very nice. Sounds like they just want his money they don't care what he wanted or what would have made him happy. If he wanted to leave his assets to them he would have. You don't owe them anything. They have no right to talk bad about you.

He loved you, and was very genuine at that.

If you think he wanted you to have it even though you two were no longer together, then keep it & do something good in his memory.
Sorry for your loss.

 HI
I'm sorry for your loss. It must be very hard for you right now having to deal with his family too. However he LOVED you and wanted to leave you his money and what ever else he thought you should have, I understand your worry but If he wanted his family to have it he would have left it for them. If you feel it's hard then maybe you could half what was left for you, and share it between the family. Although you are not obliged to ! personally If it was me I would want everyone to be happy and remember him with dignity and deal with this like adults and celebrate his life not argue, but unfortunately sometimes in life people see the dollar signs and everything else don't matter. I hope you do what YOU think is right for everyone.
