I am not sure how it works but there is a right of way law in Louisiana. One or both of the neighbors have allow you access. Again I am not sure of the details but there is a law on this.
Not if he and his family created the situation...which seems to be the case here.
Think about it,,,,why should these neighbors be forced to give up their land BC of the actions of another?
ESPECIALLY, since there IS a way to access the “land locked” properly, but the OP doesn’t want to use it.

Now, I am not a lawyer, but I think they have to give you a right of way/easement to access your property.
Some law review
came in here to say this. they don't have to pave it for you, but they do have to allow you have a right of way into your property. at least in Texas.
a friend had somebody landlocked behind their property and they sued to pave a path. they gave them a 20 foot right of way and told them to GFT. Judge agreed.

It’s family land. A portion of it would be given to us but that portion would be landlocked.
Before the partition, would any of this family land have access to a road?
Louisiana?

Exactly - that’s why we’re offering to buy the strip for fair market value. They just don’t want to bite and it’s very frustrating. I understand why, but it’s still frustrating as frick. To have to pass on a free lot in order to buy a lot somewhere else would be a tough pill to swallow.

Offer more.
You have to make them want to sell. Fair market value means nothing if they have no desire to sell. You have to make them feel like they are missing out by not selling.

This concept doesn’t apply to this situation as there is no other supply. They hold all the cards, not you.

Look at the bright side: If you buy a lot someplace else, you won't have to live in your in-law's backyard.

obviously there's more legalese than we know as far as what will happen, but they're going to wish they sold if you get your way via right of way laws.
i'd talk to a property lawyer before you say another word to them.
sometimes people are such assholes. i mean, maybe you suck or are trashy and they're making their stance with that in mind, but i'm not going to go out of my way to make life harder for people in general. i've seen people make these sort of stances over 10 acres when somebody wants to get a driveway on the far edge to be as convenient as possible to the incumbent land owners

Aren't they legally supposed to grant you an easement?
If the person who he is trying to get the strip of land from is not the owner of the property being given to him, they are not required to grant access. The person who currently owns the land being given is legally required to provide access before he can transfer ownership.

Nope.
I currently have a relative landlocked. 8 acres or so. And I will not be giving a single servitude to anyone.
When they sell, I'll be buying.
Unlike you, they are a little trashy and I don't want them there.

Why would you have to pass on the lot? Your family member has to give you the right of way is what it sounds like.

Easement laws?

Yep, after reading the entire thread (because the OP was missing some very important info, purposely I'm sure) it sounds like the family member is going to divide his/her property and give the back half to OP. The family member is creating the landlock situation but the OP and his family seem to think that the neighbor should be forced to sell them propery to create a ROW.
TL:DR: The OP is an entitled shite

OP’s family that he is subdividing from sounds like they are willing to give the right of way, but OP doesn’t want to share with strangers (IN THE FUTURE WHEN HIS FAMILY PASSES). Instead, he’d rather have another stranger give/sell him property through theirs for his right of way.
Just build the right of way through your family’s land and be done with it.

Not only that, it's a small portion of the land. You can't expect them to want to do that. If you were offering to buy all of their land and house, fair market value would make sense.

I'm sure OP can build it in a way that he can sell his families property and keep the driveway and his future house/property (that is currently landlocked) without there being a problem. Unless the problem is the lot is tiny.
