estate filing question

[Fred53]

I made distribution to my Father's cash only estate to myself, sister and brother in June of 2019 and closed estate. As part of estate probate, I payed attorney and court fees of $7,000.  I just received a 1099-INT for interest income of $850 on the estate funds I distributed. I'm using TT Business to file taxes. I will have a net loss to estate with lawyer/court deductions. Do I still have to identify the beneficiaries and subsequent K1s, as there was a net loss to the estate for the year?

You should identify the beneficiaries; since this is the final return, the net loss (excess deductions) will be passed through to the beneficiaries on their K-1s, even though they likely will not be able to use them.
