Sorry to be so vague but your answer depends on the law of the state where your son's father passed away, the type of property he owned and whether he had a will. If he was married the surviving spouse may have some rights.
You need to consult with an attorney in the state where your son's father lived.
You need to contact an attorney in the state of the father's residence. The laws of that state controls what rights, if any, your son has. In most states, your son has no rights to inherit. However, if the father did not do a Will and has no wife, then your son normally would be entitled to inherit everything.
