Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Custody

My son's girlfriend died in the hospital one day after giving birth to their baby. The birth certificate was never signed and consequently not filed. My son had a DNA test to take physical custody of the baby but we need legal custody. What should we do. The baby has no health insurance.
