Your facts are a bit confusing but if the deceased did not have a will, then your son may be the only heir if he is the only legal child of his father. The other children must establish that he was their natural or adopted father in order to inherit. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law and can properly evaluate the facts in your case. You may contact my office if you would like a consultation. Good luck!
