My son’s dad died. His mom came and took all of his documents. I know he had a business which he wanted to go to our son if he passed. I just want to make sure that they won’t be able to take that away from our child. I just need to know legally what do I need to do.

Ultimately, you will need a conservatorship if your son is a minor. However, the more pressing issue is that you need to get his father's estate openin a probate court. To do that, you will go the probate court in the county where the father lived. You will need to file a petition to appoint administrator. It sounds like you may need to retain a lawyer to assist you with this matter as it can be tricky.
