File it with the explanation of the efforts you made to get the SSN.  Pay the $50 if IRS complains.  They shouldn't, since no return is required anyway.  It's OK to call it a final return even if a small amount is retained to pay contingent expenses.  I'm not sure those legal fees are deductible by the estate.  They sound more like claims against the estate -- at least those of your client's sister.
