A person who gets money and property left by a deceased person is usually referred to as the heir. In most cases, people with a lot of wealth usually write a will of how they would wish their wealth to be distributed.
Being born out of wedlock does not bar a child from inheriting from his deceased father. However, if the father left the child out of the will then that child might not be able to inherit anything without contesting the will in court.

It really depends upon the contents of a will and how the property is titled under the wording of the deed.
