They could challenge a will but there is no guarantee of success. Inheritance from a father who was not married to the mother requires proof of the biological relationship by virtue of one of the following:
- The father consents in writing to be named as the child's father on the child's birth certificate
- Paternity is established in a paternity suit brought generally before the child's twentieth birthday.
- The father legally adopts the child.
- The father voluntarily signs a written notarized statement of paternity acknowledging that the child is his.
- After the child's birth, the father marries the biological mother and either signs a written acknowledgment of paternity, consents to be named and is named as the child's father on the birth certificate, or is obligated under a written voluntary promise or by court order to support the child.
- After the father's death, the probate court determines that the father was the child's biological father.
- This means that even if a father maintains ties with his out of wedlock child, that child will not inherit from him if he dies without a will, except under limited circumstances such as those discussed above.
