Laws vary. Generally, the surviving spouse and the children inherit in an intestate (without a Will) estate. If you were not married to the father then his children would inherit his estate. You can check the laws in your jurisdiction by performing an online search for "intestacy laws- your jurisdiction".
You can obtain a copy of your mother's will at the probate court where the estate has been filed.
The son can only inherit what his father leaves him in his Will. If the father wants his son to have monies; property or personal effects it will be in the Will. If the father and son have not been close and the father does not put him in the Will then the son will get nothing.If there is no will, the estate will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy in the place of death. It may result in the son getting half the estate if he is a minor, particularly if the wife is not the mother of the son.
The minor child's mother can file a claim against the father's estate. The minor child is also entitled to inherit a portion of the estate. The mother should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and explain her rights and options. The child can also collect survivor benefits from Social Security. See related link.

Each estate must be separately administered. Fathers creditors will need to be paid from father's estate, necessary tax forms will be filed. Father's estate will need to be distributed according to the father's will, i.e., the residual to the surviving spouse. The estate of the spouse is then probated by the administrator of the wife's estate, as required by the wife's creditors and heirs.
