The short answer is No. Unless the child was specially named in a will, the child will not inherit. A provision for “all of my children” - or worse, no will at all - will not include a child who is legally considered someone else’s child.

Most places do not have laws regarding dating; however, there are limits as to sexual contact. Typically, one cannot have sexual contact with an underage person (15-18, depending on the jurisdiction) if they are more than three years older.
