It sounds like the settlement should be paid out to the estate of your son. Without a Will, your rights to receive a portion of the estate would be governed by Ohio's Rules of Descent and Distribution. (O.R.C. 2105.06). You may want to retain an attorney in your area to investigate this matter and represent your interests.
Best of luck.
