No. The property of a person who dies without a will is distributed according to intestate succession. The state laws of intestacy set forth a person's legal heirs-at-law depending on a relationship by marriage, blood or legal adoption. If there is DNA proof that the child is not yours you should keep a copy in a safe place with your important papers including your will. That child is not your legal heir at law.

However, note that a DNA test does not automatically terminate a child support order while you are still alive, declaring you to be the father. If there is such an order, you need to petition the court to get it terminated immediately. If that is the case, you should review the situation with an attorney who specializes in probate law in your jurisdiction regarding your estate question.

If the child is definitely yours, then certainly.
You should contact a lawyer for professional advice. This makes it official and it can be proven that you did pay in the first place. Another reason to contact a lawyer is because you have been led to believing that this child was biologically yours, and you willingly paid money for it, then your lawyer MAY be able to get some of your money back.
