If the 1099-Rs were made out to the estate they should have been reported on the estate's 1041. Then claim a distribution deduction for the amounts distributed.

Yes, that's certainly a troubling statement.  So, who paid tax on the distributions?  And by not reporting the income on a 1041 and then taking a deduction for court costs, attorney fees and other allowable expenses, the beneficiary likely paid too much.
