 TMZ report that Aaron's lawyer had advised him to make a will prior to his tragic death - especially due to the fact his son was dependent on him - but he had not done it yet. However, despite his turbulent start in life it does seem like Prince will be taken care of when the courts decide where the inheritance goes. Most US states, including California, follow the guidance that when a single person dies with no will and they have a child, the child will inherit their parent's estate.

Aaron Carter passed away before he had made a last will and testament meaning that inheritance of his estate will now fall to the state of California to be decided on
Aaron Carter reportedly died without making a will, meaning the decision of who inherits his estate will now fall to the state of California.
The 34 year old’s untimely death meant that his affairs were not in order prior to his passing away and now decisions about who will gain control of his property will need to be made by the state.
The situation is made more complicated due to his baby son Prince currently being in the custody of fiancée Melanie Miller’s mother after the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services became involved and removed the 11-month-old from their home.
The infant has been staying with Melanie’s mother in Orange County since September, with Aaron and Melanie visiting him at her residence.
