see link below "Can you have a paternity test while you are pregnant?"
You should be able to establish paternity by testing someone in the fathers immediate family, such as a brother, sister, mother, father, etc...the family of the father still carry his DNA even after he is dead.
No- you don't "have" to do anything.
