In my area you go to Court, explain the situation and ask that DNA be done on certain of his family members.

Is he on the birth certificate?

Agree, you go to court to establish paternity, normally it can be tested though a close family member.

A court order to take DNA samples at this time of death would have been better, but that is too late now.
