If an heir is receiving funds on behalf of the estate, the estate must pay debts out of those funds before any heirs can inherit anything. That process is an estate administration. It seems more likely that all the heirs should file a small estate affidavit or one heir should apply for determination of heirship and issuance of letters of administration.

Every attorney charges differently. You need to contact attorneys directly to find out more about fees.
