It seems that the child will get 100% of his father's estate. You will have to apply to serve as the Administrator of the estate, if the child is under age 18. You will have to go to the surrogate in the county in which the child's father lived when he passed. You will need to bring an original death certificate. The surrogate's clerks will help you.
