If the Estate is in fact legally owed millions of dollars, it would be a breach of fiduciary duty for its executors not to try to enforce payment of the debt. That's a fundamental obligation imposed by the law regardless of personal feelings.
It's worth noting that The Tolkien Trust (which holds the US copyrights of LR) is the charitable arm of the Estate.
