Does the estate only have income from tax refunds? If so, and the standard deduction was taken you would not need to report the refunds as it is not taxable income. It has already been taxed.
If there is no other income, then you would not need to file a return. If there is no income, the legal expenses (depending on the type may or may not be deductible) have nothing to be deducted against.
